Some residents across Los Angeles County woke up Friday to a wireless emergency evacuation alert, but county officials confirmed it was another "erroneous" message.

Around 4:15 p.m., another alert was sent out by the the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management asking residents to disregard the previous alert, as it was only intended for the Kenneth fire, which erupted near West Hills bordering Los Angeles and Ventura counties earlier in the afternoon.

A second alert followed the first, explaining that it was meant only for people near the Kenneth Fire, a new brush fire that ignited Thursday afternoon.

The Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire, Lidia Fire and Sunset Fire are burning in Los Angeles County. Here's where.

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.

While the message was intended for residents of Woodland Hills, officials say the registration location of the phones might have caused a wider distribution.

An emergency alert about an evacuation warning was sent to cellphones across Los Angeles County -- but the alert was issued in error. The alert was intended only for Calabasas, Agoura Hills and West Hills residents near the Kenneth Fire.

The emergency alert caused confusion for untold residents for more about 20 minutes until a second message was sent announcing the error.

An emergency alert issuing an evacuation warning for all of Los Angeles County was sent out by accident, according to officials.
