Governor Gavin Newsom has initiated an investigation into water shortages linked to ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles County.
As multiple fires remain active, the Los Angeles County Public Health Department has declared a local health emergency due to severely degraded air quality.
All evacuation warnings for the Archer Fire have been lifted as firefighters report the blaze is no longer spreading.
The Palisades Fire has expanded significantly, causing over 10,000 structures to be destroyed and resulting in a rising death toll.
Concerns about emergency response procedures have been raised, leading to direction from Newsom for an independent review.
