An alert designated to warn people of a fire northwest of downtown Los Angeles was sent county-wide, according to a local official. At the time, emergency management was monitoring the Kenneth Fire which triggered its own evacuations.

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