Two of the largest wildfires in California that have burned thousands of acres and prompted tens of thousands to evacuate have been fully contained after over three weeks of devastation, officials confirmed late Friday.
The Palisades Fire, which broke out on Jan. 7, burned over 23,000 acres and destroyed more than 6,800 structures. The Eaton Fire, which kicked off in Altadena, burned just over 14,000 acres and destroyed over 9,000 structures, according to CalFire.
Officials updated the data overnight as both fires reached 100 percent containment. This means firefighters have the blaze’s perimeter under control and the line can be held.
