But fire crews are bracing for the return of stronger winds, with a red flag warning lasting through Wednesday.
Growth of the Palisades fire slowed significantly overnight into Sunday while crews made significant gains in containing the Eaton fire, as firefighters entered their sixth day of battling the deadly, wind-driven blazes that have raged across Los Angeles County.
The Eaton fire also remained about the same size — an estimated 14,117 acres — while the containment estimate jumped overnight from 15 to 27%. There have been 16 confirmed deaths from the fires, including 11 attributed to the Eaton fire and 5 attributed to the Palisades fire, according to a County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner update released on Saturday evening.
“The atmosphere is continually changing and we have to adapt to the conditions that are provided to us,” McDonnell said.
