Firefighters reported some progress fighting the wildfires that have charred hillsides, homes and streets in Los Angeles County, but the strong winds that fanned the flames were expected to pick up again on Friday,

A fast-moving fire in the Hollywood Hills erupted Wednesday night as more evacuations were ordered for Los Angeles residents and fire crews battled three other major blazes that killed at least five people.

Fire officials say crews are still battling fires in the Pacific Palisades, as well as the Hurst Fire, near San Fernando, and the Eaton fire near Pasadena. Meanwhile, new fires have sprung up in the Hollywood Hills and to the north near Acton.
