LOS ANGELES – More than three weeks after the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires broke out in Southern California, state officials said on the evening of Jan 31 that firefighters had fully contained both fires, meaning that the perimeters of the fires were completely under control.

The Palisades and Eaton fires, two of the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in California history, reached 100 percent containment more than three weeks after they began.

More than 50,000 are under evacuation orders or warnings as a new wind-driven wildfire spreads in the mountains north of Los Angeles.
