At least 11 people have died in a series of devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area, NBC News reports.
Authorities say the true death toll is unknown because the fires have destroyed entire streets and more than 12,000 structures.
Dry conditions and strong winds have sparked at least five fires, causing unprecedented damage in densely populated areas not known for fires. Officials expect strong winds to return Monday.
The Palisades Fire, which has burned more than 21,000 acres, is 8% contained. The blaze prompted evacuations in the Encino area Friday night. The Eaton Fire in the Pasadena area, which has burned nearly 14,000 acres, is 3% contained.
California Governor Howard Gavin Newsom said he was calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure in local fire hydrants and reports of unavailability of water from the Santa Ynez Reservoir.
At least two people died in the fire trying to protect their homes, and another was left with a son with cerebral palsy who was unable to evacuate.
