The extreme fire conditions caused by a "life-threatening" windstorm have been deemed a "particularly dangerous situation," weather officials say.

Authorities continued to battle the Palisades and Eaton fires throughout Los Angeles County as lower wind speeds are expected to provide some respite Thursday morning before picking up again in the afternoon, though firefighters were able to lift evacuation orders for a fire that burned through the Hollywood Hills.

The Hollywood Hills blazed uncontrollably on Thursday morning as the worst wildfires in the history of Los Angeles raged across the city and deep into the storied heartland of the American film industry.
