What is ‘wildfire containment?’ How to interpret updates on the fires
Firefighters continue to make progress containing the Palisades and Eaton Fires Monday, after the blazes spent almost a week out of control. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the Eaton Fire was one-third contained. Meanwhile, the Palisades Fire is hovering around 14% containment.
