At the same time, mounted police and search teams with tracking dogs are combing through burned-out areas, searching for bodies, according to AP.
At least 27 people have died in the massive fires, which started on January 7. 12,000 buildings have been destroyed and more than 80,000 residents have been evacuated from their homes.
Some of the evacuees from certain affected areas have begun to return to their homes, according to the Los Angeles Times.
But tens of thousands are still in limbo, and among them, frustration is growing. They cannot return home, not even to houses that survived the fire, due to dangers such as toxic pollutants and the risk of landslides.
Residents of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood in western Los Angeles were told on Thursday that it may take a week before they can return home.
It's extremely difficult for me to look you in the eye, honestly, I feel like I've let you down in some way, said Los Angeles Deputy Fire Chief Joe Everett at a meeting with evacuees.
Around Los Angeles, however, people have put up signs thanking firefighters for their efforts.
A political controversy has erupted over who is responsible for delayed responses. According to AP, the first decision to evacuate was not made until about 40 minutes after homes in Pacific Palisades had already started burning. The roads were then filled with cars carrying people fleeing the fire.
