The increased containment comes as gusty winds are anticipated to return to Southern California.
Burned homes from the Eaton fire are seen from the top of Devonwood Road above the northwestern area of Altadena on Sunday. The Eaton fire, burning in Altadena and Pasadena, was 33% contained as of 7:30 a.m. Monday, Jan. 13, officials said, and the fire did not expand beyond the 14,117 acres reported burned as of Sunday.
“I think that we’re very well prepared for the next event,” Marrone said. “We’re never sure we’re ever going to be able to catch the next fire and keep it small. They said 70 mph winds — it’s going to be very difficult to contain that fire, that’s why we ask all residents in any brush-prone area to be prepared.”
Officials were also dealing with frustrated residents, some of who officials said wanted to get back to their homes for medications or family pets. The curfew, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., remained in place for mandatory evacuation areas, the sheriff said.
