There have been at least 24 fire-related deaths in the Palisades and Eaton Fires, according to the latest tally from the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner.

The number of fatalities is expected to rise as officials continue to battle the dual fires.

According to the medical examiner, there have been 16 confirmed deaths linked to the Eaton Fire and eight fatalities due to the Palisades Fire.

Los Angeles Unified School District announced some schools are reopening Monday, depending on the location of the institution and the weather conditions.

LAUSD said school principals will contact communities directly.

ABC News confirmed that some community members received calls on Sunday about schools reopening.

The district has over 1,500 schools serving roughly 600,000 students in grades K–12. Schools across the district have been closed due to fires since Thursday.

The National Weather Service on Sunday issued another red flag warning for fire danger in Southern California.

This is the fourth time in three months the NWS has issued the high-level alert, with the last one occurring last week when winds went up to 100 mph and the fires in Los Angeles County began.

Winds are expected to gust from 45 to 70 mph Tuesday morning through Wednesday morning.

The red flag warning is the highest level alert the agency is capable of issuing and is intended to invoke the highest level of urgency and attention.

Over 24,000 people have registered for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency since President Joe Biden approved the Major Disaster Declaration last week, a White House official reported.

The number was shared as Biden convened federal officials for a briefing on Sunday about the latest about the Los Angeles County fires and the ongoing federal efforts to support those affected.

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell had appeared on ABC's "This Week" earlier in the day, saying the agency was already "starting to help support this recovery piece" by working with the local jurisdictions to "understand what their long-term recovery needs are going to be."

Calmer winds gave thousands of firefighters battling several active wildfires a chance to expand containment lines overnight on two of the three biggest infernos, but officials said Sunday the fire threat remains high and winds are expected to pick up.

The number of confirmed deaths from the fires stayed at 16 on Sunday, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said during a press conference Sunday that 16 people remain unaccounted for in the Eaton and Palisades fires, but he expects that number to grow as search and rescue teams with cadaver dogs sift through the rubble.

Chief Anthony Marrone of the Los Angeles County Fire Department said containment on the Eaton Fire burning in the Pasadena and Altadena areas has been expanded to 27%. Marrone said firefighters managed to keep the fire in check at 14,117 acres.

Marrone said more than 7,000 structures have been destroyed by the Eaton Fire and that 3,155 firefighting personnel were assigned to the blaze.

Chief Kristin Crowley of the Los Angeles Fire Department said the Palisades Fire in Pacific Palisades, the largest fire burning, had grown to 23,707 acres by Sunday morning and remained 11 % contained. More than 4,700 personnel were battling the blaze, she said.

Marrone said firefighters made significant progress on the Hurst Fire burning near Sylmar, getting containment up to 89% and preventing the fire from growing beyond 799 acres.
