California fire battalion chief Brent Pascua told CNN this Saturday (11) that hopes to see an improvement in fire containment.
Winds remain calm, meaning firefighters can now use aircraft to fight fires.
“Super scooper (a plane specialized in firefighting) is a great example of this”, highlighted Pascua.
Pascua added that he hopes progress “continues in the right direction” as firefighters continue to work on containment. “We will continue to control these fires,” he said.
Containing fires in numbers
The Palisades Fire is now 11% contained (previously 8%) and the Eaton Fire is at 15% containment (previously 3%).
Some of the smaller wildfires also improved numbers:
- Kenneth Fire is at 80% (previously 50%)
- Hurst Fire is at 76% (previously 70%)
- Lidia Fire is at 98% (previously 75%)
The Archer Fire remains at 0%.
