Los Angeles fire crews make progress against deadly wildfires
Firefighters have reported significant gains in containing two massive wildfires burning around Los Angeles.Firefighters are also tackling smaller blazes set by arsonists in recent days.
This came as the last wave of windy, fire-prone weather moved through southern California.
With winds picking up again, much of the nation’s second-most populous metropolitan region was still on alert for new outbreaks and flareups.
In the mountains, gusts reached up to 50mph, but many areas saw relatively light winds late in the morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Better conditions expected in the coming days should help fire crews make even more headway and allow residents to return to their neighborhoods to begin rebuilding.
