There are four active fires as of Tuesday morning, according to Cal Fire: The Palisades and Eaton fires have burned a collective 37,830 acres since last Tuesday, and are 14% and 33% contained, respectively.
In the first 11 days of the year there have been more than 40,300 acres burned from 105 fires. With an estimated 12,000 structures destroyed, this makes the Eaton and Palisades fire likely the second and fourth most destructive fires in California's history.
The National Weather Service warns that the next batch of high winds could down trees, cut power, endanger drivers and fuel new and existing fires, leading to "explosive fire growth."
