Fires devastating Los Angeles grow more slowly as fierce winds die down

This morning, CalFire officially brought the Lidia Fire to 100% containment. But a lot of work remains across the region as the #Eaton and #Palisades fires continue to burn largely uncontained. Fire conditions set to get worse once again this upcoming week."

Spectrum News meteorologist Zach Covey wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday morning

I’m going to spend every moment that I can making sure that I’m in as many areas as possible, meeting and talking to residents to see what is needed in the recovery,

Bass said

There is an extreme amount of frustration, anger, fear with regards to the erroneous messages that have been sent out through the wireless emergency Alert System across L.A County. I can’t express enough how sorry I am for this experience,

L.A. County Office of Emergency Management Director Kevin McGowan said at a news conference on Friday

One of the issues that we have, of course, is we do need to be cognizant of the fact that this is our fire season as well,

he added

I don’t believe there is anything Angelenos can’t do if we stand together,

she added

We’re moving at recovery mode at the same time, meaning, we want the city rebuilt. We want to see Los Angeles come together,

she added

We haven’t had any requests for further support. But Australia always stands ready to provide support to our friends in times of need,

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Albanese told Australian Broadcasting Corp. in the west coast city of Perth on Friday

To all Angelenos, we’re fighting hard for each of you,

she said

Flying a drone in the fire traffic area is not only dangerous but it’s illegal,

he said

You can’t not be in these affected areas. If you are, you are subject to arrest,

he said

We know that we’re going to have a possible increase in the force of the winds at the beginning of next week and we’re getting Los Angeles prepared, doing everything we can to save lives, that is our number one job to protect people’s homes, to protect people’s businesses and to prepare to rebuild Los Angeles in a much better way,

she said

We still have some winds and that's why we have not yet lifted the evacuation order,

Stewart told KTLA

There's absolutely nothing except for a few walls and the empty space,

said the Pasadena Jewish Center's executive director, Melissa Levy

There’s clear evidence that there’s looting,

he said at the briefing

They know every single thing we’re doing about this response,

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday

Just this morning, I woke up and I was really conscious of my mental state and my mental health, because the last three days, I've seen so much tragedy,

Guttenberg said as he walked through the remnants of his community

This is an emergency message from the Los Angeles County Fire Department,

the alert reads

You’re in this disaster, and it’s nature. There’s no controlling what’s happening,

said Teddy Leonard, who with her husband Andy owns the landmark Reel Inn in Malibu, which was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire

Yesterday was that wake-up call,

he said, referring to the Sunset Fire that burned across the park and the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday evening

You watch disasters on TV — hurricanes, tsunamis, tornados,

he said
