The west side of the Palisades fire, from the Pacific Coast Highway around Malibu up to the Monte Nido area, has been contained, and officials were confident the fire would not continue moving west along the coastline, the Cal Fire representative said.

Eaton fire. Out of 3,800 structures that have been inspected so far, 212 were damaged and 1,422 were destroyed.

Five firefighters have been injured while working to suppress the Eaton fire

All of the fire-related deaths are attributed to either the Palisades Fire which has burned nearly 24,000 acres and is only 11% contained and the Eaton Fire near Pasadena which has scorched more than 14,000 acres and stands at 27% contained.

Palisades Fire likely started near the remnants of a blaze believed to have been sparked by NYE fireworks

An analysis of satellite images, radio communications, videos as well as interviews by the publication found that the deadly Palisades Fire began in the same area where firefighters had put out the previous fire — and that firefighters were slower to respond to the second blaze, which quickly became one of the most destructive in California’s history.

The New Year’s Eve fire had spread slowly across four acres. There was little wind, but even so it still took a little over four hours to contain.

Another resident told a Washington Post reporter that the whole wildfire was “started by idiots” on New Year’s Eve. He said that people light off fireworks late at night to celebrate the New Year when they’re not supposed to every year without fail. He also said that he and his family heard the supposed fireworks and saw the fire shortly after midnight.

It is still not definitive if the New Year’s Eve blaze sparked the Palisades Fire. Both state and federal investigators have been scouring the origin point of the second fire for any clues to its cause.
