Although evacuation orders have since been lifted for most of LA County, fire survivors continue to face the road to recovery as they focus on rebuilding.

The Palisades Fire started Jan. 7 during a Santa Ana windstorm in Pacific Palisades. Nearly three weeks later, evacuation orders are lifted.

Round Rock firefighters are back in Texas after traveling to California to help battle wildfires devastating the state.

Santa Ana winds return to Southern California from Monday to Tuesday, once again raising fire danger concerns.

The blazes have grown to more than 37,000 acres, killing at least 25 people and destroying thousands of structures.

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.

The Hughes Fire has now burned 8,096 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties since igniting late Wednesday morning near Castaic Lake, according to Cal Fire. As more than 400 firefighters responded to the scene, an air tanker and four helicopters attacked the blaze from the air, preventing it from jumping Interstate 5, officials said.

The Santa Anas are expected to be most powerful Monday night into Tuesday. Fire services across the region say they are ready.

A new report suggests that climate change-induced factors, like reduced rainfall, primed conditions for the Palisades and Eaton fires.

Analysis found the hot, dry and windy conditions that drove the fires were 35% more likely due to 1.3C of warming.

No more rainfall is expected in the area until possibly late in the first week of February, but Santa Ana winds aren't in forecast either.

The number of deaths from the wildfires that destroyed entire communities in the Los Angeles area in January 2025 has risen to 29, the county medical examiner’s office said.
