Mom, are we going to have to run?' Here's how the first 24 hours of our unprecedented conflagration unfolded across L.A. County

Updating maps of Southern California show where wildfires, including the Palisades, Eaton and Hughes fires, are burning across Los Angeles.

As firefighters start to get the upper hand on the Eaton and Palisades fires, the focus now shifts to clearing debris from the thousands of destroyed or heavily damaged homes, an effort complicated by hazardous materials and toxic ash.

Firefighters continued their efforts on the Palisades and Eaton fires on Saturday, hoping to make as much progress as possible before another round of fire weather is expected to return next week.

The Palisades fire — which has invaded Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Topanga and Mandeville canyons — was 65% contained as of Tuesday evening. Firefighters inched further on the Eaton fire — which has caused destruction in Altadena, Pasadena and Sierra Madre — achieving 89% containment, according to Cal Fire.

The size of the huge blazes, along with difficult weather conditions and the emergence of smaller fires, have extended firefighters’ timelines. “It’s going to be a slow, arduous process,” one official said.

Here's the latest on containment for the fires burning across Southern California as firefighters work to extinguish the fires.
