Firefighters are still battling four major fires in Southern California residential areas, where stronger-than-normal Santa Ana winds and minimal humidity have spawned multiple blazes with more gusty winds on the way.
The fires, which began on Tuesday, have so far killed 11 and destroyed thousands of homes and structures throughout the Los Angeles County region.
Containment levels for the two largest fires, the Palisades and Eaton fires, remained at 15% or less by midday Saturday. Together, the two blazes had affected about 37,000 acres.
According to CalFire, northeast winds are set to return to high elevations Saturday night into Sunday, gusting up to 30 mph with relative humidity dropping below 20 percent. Another Santa Ana wind event is possible around Tuesday, the agency said.
