Santa Ana winds continued challenging firefighters on the Palisades and Eaton fires, but containment inched forward along the coast, and debris cleanup was underway in both burn scars ahead of possible rain coming over the weekend, authorities said.

Firefighters continued their efforts on the Palisades and Eaton fires on Saturday, hoping to make as much progress as possible before another round of fire weather is expected to return next week.

Improving weather conditions continue to aid in the increased containment of both the Eaton and Palisades fires, with some evacuations lifted in the Palisades Fire area.

The Palisades fire — which has invaded Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Topanga and Mandeville canyons — was 65% contained as of Tuesday evening. Firefighters inched further on the Eaton fire — which has caused destruction in Altadena, Pasadena and Sierra Madre — achieving 89% containment, according to Cal Fire.

Firefighters continue progress on Palisades and Eaton fires as weather calms but officials warn of continued winds.

Over a week after destructive wildfires erupted in the Los Angeles area, fire crews have made progress with containment and stopped growth of the Eaton and Palisades fires.

Containment of the Palisades fire inched higher to 18% as of Tuesday evening, but gusty winds could challenge fire crews.

Jasmine Viel reports from Altadena, where she speaks with one evacuee from the Eaton Fire that is still unsure what her next step forward will be after her home was destroyed by the flames.
