Los Angeles fire moving toward east 

The Palisades Fire, the largest of six active blazes in the Los Angeles region, shifted east on Friday night.

The fires have killed at least 11 people and burned more than 37,000 acres — an area bigger than San Francisco — according to Cal Fire, with flames claiming more than 12,000 structures and displacing tens of thousands. 

The Palisades Fire is the largest at more than 21,000 acres, while the Eaton Fire has burned more than 14,000 acres. 

Those blazes are 8 percent and 3 percent contained, respectively.

As the fire is moving toward east, it has triggered a new evacuation order that included much of the Brentwood neighborhood. 

The new flare-up was a “significant development,” said L.A. County spokesman Jesus Ruiz, with the fire rapidly growing and moving in the direction of “a heavily populated area … we’re definitely concerned.”
