As fires rage in Southern California, firefighters are working to get the blazes — which include the Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires — under control. The wildfires, spread by strong Santa Ana winds, have burned homes and businesses and caused more than 200,000 evacuations throughout the region. 

Here's the latest on containment for the fires burning across Southern California. 

Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire

The two largest fires have burned thousands of acres in L.A. neighborhoods since Tuesday. The Palisades Fire began at 10:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday, burning on the west side of Los Angeles County, including the Pacific Palisades and Malibu. 

The deadly Eaton fire, which began around 6 p.m. local time Tuesday, is raging in the Angeles National Forest, Altadena and Pasadena. 

Hurst, Woodley, Lidia, Sunset fires

There are several other blazes across the region, including the Hurst, Woodley, Lidia and Sunset fires. 

The Hurst fire broke out in the Sylmar neighborhood of Los Angeles Tuesday night, while several fires broke out Wednesday. The Woodley Fire started burning early Wednesday near the Sepulveda Basin.

Flames started late Wednesday in Acton, in the Antelope Valley between the San Gabriel Mountains and the Sierra Pelona Mountains, becoming known as the Lidia Fire.

The Sunset fire erupted Wednesday evening in the Hollywood Hills near the Hollywood Bowl and Hollywood Walk of Fame, prompting a new round of mandatory evacuations.
