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 to gain control of fires burning near the Santa Clarita Valley and along the coast amid dry conditions — but Santa Ana winds were anticipated to subside on Friday, Jan. 24, making way for potentially wet weather over the weekend.

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.
