The devastating California wildfires moved into a fifth consecutive day on Saturday, with the number of people officially confirmed dead climbing to 11, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner said Friday. 

That number is expected to rise, however, as cadaver dogs go through leveled neighborhoods to assess the devastation to an area larger than San Francisco.

The situation remains volatile with the massive Palisades Fire only 8% contained and Eaton Fire only 3% contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. More than 12,300 homes and buildings have gone up in flames and fresh evacuations were ordered Friday night in Mandeville Canyon and the Interstate 405 freeway after a flare-up on the eastern flank of the Palisades Fire, FOX Weather reported.

The Walt Disney Company, which is based in Burbank, California, has pledged $15 million for wildfire relief after thousands have lost their homes and at least 11 people have died in the fires.
