The county’s medical examiner announced on Saturday at least five people have died in the Palisades fire, and another 11 people were killed in the Eaton fire. High desert winds picked up on Saturday across parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties and are expected to strengthen into the weekend, which could hinder firefighting efforts and strengthen the blazes.
