The Palisades Fire has "a new significant flare-up on the eastern portion and continues to northeast," a fire captain says.

At least 11 people have been killed and 10,000 structures have been destroyed, officials say.

The fire, the most destructive in the history of Los Angeles , has razed whole neighborhoods to the ground.

Officials have declared a public health emergency due to the thick, toxic smoke.
