Firefighters have been pushing to establish a boundary around the blazes using trenches and natural barriers, but the intense heat from burning homes makes containment difficult.
It's a slow, arduous process to fully extinguish the fires, especially with smaller fires emerging and diverting resources from the larger blazes.
Stopping the fires' forward progress is just the initial step; firefighters must also extinguish remaining flames within contained areas, which requires time and meticulous effort.
The challenges posed by the Palisades and Eaton fires underscore that timelines for containment and extinguishment of large fires often stretch over several weeks or longer.
