The largest of four active wildfires in Los Angeles County was encroaching on a major Southern California artery on Saturday as the flames expanded to the northeast and officials warned of more extreme fire weather conditions this weekend.

The Palisades Fire grew another roughly 1,000 acres on Saturday, and had burned 23,654 acres by afternoon with 11% containment. An expansion of the flames to the north and east prompted officials to issue more mandatory evacuation areas to the west of the 405 freeway as it threatened parts of Encino and Brentwood.

Powerful winds have fanned wildfires into destructive infernos across Los Angeles, killing at least 13, as of Saturday afternoon.

In total, more than 153,000 Los Angeles County residents were under active evacuation orders and 57,000 structures are at risk, Sheriff Robert Luna said at a news conference Saturday. Another 166,000-plus were under evacuation warnings, meaning they should be prepared to leave their homes.
