Containment of the Eaton and Palisades fires has gradually increased overnight, with the Eaton fire at 55% and the Palisades fire at 22%, as winds weaken.
Firefighters utilized aircraft to support crews on the Eaton fire's northern edge, employing infrared data to locate hotspots and deploying ground-based retardant strategically.
Both fires have resulted in significant devastation, damaging or destroying over 12,000 structures and claiming at least 25 lives, with urban search efforts ongoing.
Weather conditions are improving, allowing for better firefighting efforts, but critical fire weather is expected to return next week, posing ongoing challenges.
