Firefighters are racing against the clock in their days long battle against deadly wildfires in Los Angeles, with gusting winds overnight and early next week expected to threaten the progress they’ve made fighting the flames across the region.

The coastal Palisades Fire is at least 11 percent contained but now moving inland toward Brentwood and other communities near the Getty Center and UCLA.

More than 100,000 residents remain under evacuation orders, as the Eaton Fire in Altadena and other blazes in the county continue to burn.

Officials have confirmed at least 11 deaths in this week’s fires, but say it’s not yet safe to assess the true total.

The ATF will take the lead on a new investigative task force probing the origin of the Palisades Fire, officials announced Saturday.
