A neighborhood where the deadly Eaton fire began was mostly spared from the devastation in surrounding Altadena, with the same gusting winds that whipped up the inferno thought to have helped those closest to the ignition point avoid disaster.

Radio reports reveal the scramble to contain the Eaton fire as it exploded from a 10-acre brush fire to a devastating 14,000-acre blaze that destroyed thousands of homes.

The massive Palisades Fire broke out in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon, prompting mandatory evacuations affecting tens of thousands of people and highway closures. Later Tuesday, the Eaton Fire broke out in the foothills of Pasadena on the other side of Los Angeles County.

From direct donations to auctions and a charity benefit concert—here's how celebrities and billionaire are helping victims of the Los Angeles wildfires.

Dozens of people are believed to have died in the Palisades and Eaton fires, which have burned down whole swaths of communities

Investigators are looking into whether a small blaze was not totally snuffed out and reignited to start the Palisades fire, the Los Angeles Fire Department’s chief said.

A FEMA Disaster Recovery Center for Angelenos impacted by the fires has also been set up at the UCLA Research Park (formerly the Westside Pavilion). The center will serve as FEMA’s central hub for evacuated residents on the Westside, offering aid to those who have lost their homes, businesses or vital records.

Fires across the Los Angeles area have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 structures, officials said, scorching more than 60 square miles and displacing tens of thousands of people.
