During a news conference Friday morning, officials in Los Angeles apologized for a set of erroneous alert messages that were sent to residents telling them to evacuate areas that were not impacted by wildfires. The first emergency alert messages were sent to residents' phones on Thursday afternoon falsely telling millions they were under an evacuation warning.
All wildfires burning in LA have some level of containment for first time this weekA second alert was sent telling people to disregard the first message. The alert was intended only for residents near the Kenneth Fire that broke on Thursday near the Los Angeles County and Ventura County lines. Then, in the early hours of Friday morning residents in Beverly Hills were falsely told to evacuate in another erroneous error message from the county's emergency alert system.
