Residents in the Pasadena and Altadena areas have been preparing for the risk of mudslides ahead of the rain. Brittany Hope reports for the NBC4 News at 6 a.m. on Jan. 27, 2025. 

Containment is nearing 100 percent for three major wildfires in Los Angeles County.

Weekend rain helped firefighters gain ground on the deadly Palisades and Eaton fires, which started Jan. 7 in a Santa Ana windstorm and destroyed entire neighborhoods. In northern LA County, cooler conditions aided the fight against the Hughes Fire.

See below for Wednesday morning updates on the three fires.

  • Palisades Fire: Containment of the 23,400-acre fire on the LA County coast was at 96 percent.
  • Eaton Fire: The 14,000-acre fire in the Altadena area was 99-percent contained.
  • Hughes Fire: The fire that started Jan. 22 in the Castaic area was at 10,400 acres with containment at 98 percent.
