The Los Angeles Police Department has arrested two individuals on Tuesday who admitted to setting fires outside of the wildfire zones.​

Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s CEO Janisse Quinones now has a 24/7 LAPD detail in response to the threats, the sources said.

Fanned by strong winds, the wildfires have killed at least 24 people and swept through 40,000 acres in the Greater Los Angeles area.

Los Angeles police said "a male was heard stating a suspect was trying 'to light a fire' near the Kenneth Fire". The allegation was later ruled unfounded.

Democratic lawmakers have drawn a surge of criticism since the fires began. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was lambasted, including by members of her own party, for traveling abroad while Californians were forced to flee their homes amid the fires and California Governor Gavin Newsom has attracted harsh scrutiny from Republicans.

Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said three people have been arrested for arson in the past few days outside of recent wildfire zones.

The LAPD hasn't made any statements mentioning "persons of interest." The LA Fire Department said it is still investigating the cause of the fires.

"We have people who will go to all ends to do what they do," said LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell after a man dressed in a firefighter jacket and helmet allegedly burglarized homes

Southern California braces for another round of dangerous winds while wildfires continue to burn in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena, forcing thousands to evacuate.

The massive Palisades Fire broke out in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon, prompting mandatory evacuations affecting tens of thousands of people and highway closures. Later Tuesday, the Eaton Fire broke out in the foothills of Pasadena on the other side of Los Angeles County.

A new fire broke out last night in Ventura County, while two major fires in LA County are still at less than 50 percent containment after a week of burning.

The Palisades Fire has devastated parts of Los Angeles, consuming nearly 24,000 acres and leading to mass evacuations, including in Harris' neighborhood. Authorities imposed a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. in affected areas to curb looting and ensure safety.
