The Eaton Fire in Los Angeles County has burned through a total of 13,690 acres and is showing no signs of slowing down, according to Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone. During a news conference held on Thursday, Marrone expressed concern over the fire's rapid growth, stating that it has expanded since the morning press conference.
One of the main areas of focus for firefighters is the historic Mount Wilson area, as the fire is currently moving in that direction. Marrone emphasized the need for swift action to protect this significant location from the approaching flames.
As of now, the Eaton Fire remains at 0% containment, posing a significant challenge to firefighting efforts. Fire crews are working tirelessly to establish control lines and contain the fire, but the unpredictable nature of the blaze has made containment difficult.
Residents in the affected areas are urged to stay informed about evacuation orders and be prepared to evacuate if necessary. The safety of residents and firefighters remains the top priority as efforts continue to combat the Eaton Fire and prevent further damage.
