Three active fires in Los Angeles neared full containment Sunday, as the region receives much-needed rain that has produced flood and mudslide warnings lasting through Monday. Saturday, 4:00 p.m. PST Cal Fire data marked the Palisades Fire at 87% containment, the Eaton Fire at 95% containment and the Hughes Fire at 92% containment.
Nine wildfires are currently burning across Southern California as of Friday morning, five of which ignited yesterday.
The National Weather Service said there is a 15-25% chance of thunderstorms across the region, which could bring periods of heavy rainfall that could overwhelm the burn-scar areas.
"I mean, the California wildfires are terrible, and I've got a bunch of friends out there, and when I heard that they were raising money for it, I was like, I have to go," said Jessica Fisher of Queens.
Rain is expected in Southern California this weekend, and although the region needs the rain, it comes with risks.
