The Palisades fire continues to burn in Los Angeles County, prompting new mandatory evacuations and wreaking havoc on communities. The Getty Center and other iconic locations are affected by the latest flare-up, with residents scrambling to evacuate. Fire officials face challenges from drones interfering with firefighting efforts and a potential increase in the death toll as the scope of the destruction becomes clearer.

Air quality remains poor across large sections of the Southland and, on Friday, officials warned residents in Pacific Palisades not to drink tap water because of the risk of fire-related contaminants.
