  Los Angeles County wildfires latest: 153,000 residents still under evacuation as Kenneth Fire order lifted – Firefighters are hoping for a break Friday from the fierce winds that have fueled massive blazes in the Los Angeles area, killing 10 people, obliterating whole neighborhoods and setting the nation’s second-largest city on edge. On Thursday afternoon, the Kenneth Fire started in the San Fernando Valley. It moved into neighboring Ventura County, but a large and aggressive response by firefighters stopped the flames from spreading. The fires have burned more than 10,000 homes and other structures since Tuesday, when they first began popping up around a densely populated, 25-mile (40-kilometer) expanse north of downtown Los Angeles. No cause has been identified yet for the largest fires. Where people can donate to help with wildfire relief in Los Angeles – Los Angeles continues to deal with some of the most destructive wildfires in its history, as thousands of homes and other structures have been wiped out, leaving thousands of people displaced. Firefighters are continuing Friday to try and gain some kind of control of the Eaton Fire near Pasadena. Thousands of homes, businesses and other structures have been destroyed between the Palisades and Eaton fires, and the number is expected to increase.
