A press conference will be held at 8 a.m. where officials will give updated information on the fires, including the Palisades Fire.

On Thursday, L.A. County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said there were no fatalities reported but that there were “a high number of significant injuries to residents who did not evacuate, in addition to first responders who were on the fire lines.”

The fire has been dubbed the most destructive in Los Angeles city history.
