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

I have been informed the evacuation warning that many of us just received on our phones was mistakenly issued countywide due to a technical error," Supervisor Janice Hahn said.

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.

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

The Los Angeles City Emergency Management Department said an emergency alert to phones warning residents of possible evacuations was sent to the entire county by mistake, adding evacuation orders have not changed.

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