Death toll in Los Angeles fires jumps to 16 as winds whip back up

The number of people killed by the wildfires in Los Angeles grew Saturday night to 16 as winds whipped back up and pushed flames toward new communities.

Firefighters raced to save Brentwood and other neighborhoods near the UCLA campus as  gusty wind pushed the largest fire in Palisades further inland.

That Palisades Fire was at least 11% contained and the second deadliest.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner said Saturday that 5 deaths appear to be from the Palisades Fire while 11 died in the Eaton Fire.
