Pacific Palisades Wildfire in Los Angeles Explained: A new fire erupted in Southern California on Monday (January 13) night, adding to a string of fires that have been torching the region since last week. The blazes have killed more than 20 people, put hundreds and thousands under evacuation orders, and charred more than 40,000 acres of land.

Known as the Auto fire, the new wildfire had burnt 56 acres of land as of Tuesday early morning. The two biggest fires — Palisades and Eaton — have remained far from being entirely contained. While the Palisades fire has been 14% contained, the Eaton fire has been 33% contained, according to NBC Los Angeles. There is another fire — the Hurst fire — which has been 99% contained.
