FEMA is opening a new disaster recovery center in Altadena to assist Eaton fire victims, and the sheriff's department says it will conduct property checks of vacant homes.

The Palisades and Eaton wildfires also continue burning in the Los Angeles area, leaving parts of Southern California with devastating fire damage.

Southern California is bracing for an "unprecedented" third Particularly Dangerous Situation warning in a month, as extreme Santa Ana winds increase fire danger.

The National Weather Service issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation warning Monday, says winds could reach up to 100 mph.

Firefighters have battled multiple fires in Los Angeles and Ventura counties over the last few days. But after an epic dry streak, Southern California will get its first real rain of the winter this weekend.

The rain that is expected to hit the scorched Los Angeles landscape this weekend may bring relief to the fire fights, but it could also bring flash floods and mudslides. Although forecasts show that the risk is relatively low, local officials are taking the warnings seriously.

After surviving the fire, many California residents are facing the secondary threat of looters taking advantage of chaotic conditions and abandoned property.

The Eaton fire continues to burn in the Altadena area below the Angeles National Forest Sunday, with 16 deaths reported in the Eaton Canyon area.

SHE JOINS US LIVE FROM ALTADENA, THE PLACE OF THE EATON FIRE. AND THERE’S JUST SO MUCH DESTRUCTION. ANDREA. LISA, IT’S JUST YOU DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW BAD IT IS UNTIL YOU’RE HERE ON THE GROUND. WE’RE SEEING THE DEVASTATION FIRSTHAND.

Two wildfires ignited early Tuesday in San Diego, California's Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. The Lilac Fire had burned about 20 acres at a moderate rate of speed and was zero percent contained, Cal Fire’s San Diego department said in a statement posted on social media.

The 10,396-acre Hughes fire reached 56% containment Friday as first responders made progress controlling multiple blazes burning in Los Angeles County, which is expected to receive rain over the weekend that could be capable of producing floods and mudslides in several burned areas.
