Fires across the Los Angeles area have killed at least 25 people, destroyed more than 12,000 structures and charred more than 60 square miles. The largest by far — the Palisades and Eaton wildfires — continue to burn, officials said.
- The strongest winds were weakening, giving firefighters a much-needed break. Conditions are forecast to continue to improve this week, but the National Weather Service said dangerous conditions are expected next week.
- Officials said tens of thousands of people in Los Angeles County remained under evacuation orders even as the orders were lifted in many places. Curfews were still in effect for the Palisades and Eaton fire zones from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
