The death toll from the southern California wildfires reached 16, as of Saturday night, while the fires remained mostly uncontained and additional evacuation orders were underway. The Palisades Fire caused five of the deaths and the Eaton Fire caused 11 of the deaths,

"Critical fire-weather conditions will unfortunately ramp up again ... for southern California and last through at least early next week as periodic enhancements of off-shore winds continue," the National Weather Service said. "This may lead to the spread of ongoing fires as well as the development of new ones."
