An alert from the Los Angeles County Fire Department to evacuate on Thursday afternoon appeared to have been sent in error.

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

Officials in Los Angeles apologized for a set of erroneous alert messages that were sent to residents telling them to evacuate areas that were not impacted by wildfires.

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.

Beverley Hills residents received “another evacuation alert from the LA County Fire Department” but officials “confirmed this was another error."

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

A wireless emergency evacuation alert was sent to residents across Los Angeles County on Thursday afternoon. However, it was meant for people in the order and warning zones for the Kenneth Fire in Woodland Hills.

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

Public safety officials fear that residents might ignore future, accurate alerts if they become accustomed to false warnings.

Officials told millions of residents to disregard an evacuation warning they were mistakenly sent due to a “technical error.”
