Meteorologists said there was a chance the winds would be as severe as those that fueled the Palisades and Eaton fires, but that different locations would likely be affected.

Fires across the Los Angeles area have killed at least 25 people. The Palisades and Eaton fires continue to burn in Southern California.

Winds have died down in recent days, but another Santa Ana wind event is expected early next week. There are still air quality concerns, particularly closer to the burn areas. LOS ANGELES - Calmer winds over the last few days have allowed firefighters to drastically increase the containment of two major wildfires burning in Los Angeles County.

Wildfires fueled by strong Santa Ana winds have devastated Southern California, destroying thousands of homes and causing 27 deaths. The fires, affecting urban areas and the Olympic preparation, are worsened by climate change and urban expansion.
