A law firm suing Southern California Edison released an edited video that it says appears show the start of the deadly Eaton Fire in Altadena.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has deployed fire engines, water-dropping aircraft and hand crews across the region—to enable a rapid response if a new fire does break out, according to The Associated Press.

The deadly Eaton Fire in Altadena and Pasadena is 45% contained Wednesday, while red flag warnings of critical fire danger will be in place over the burn area — and much of the Southland — through 6 p.

The Santa Ana winds are dry, powerful winds that blow down the mountains toward the Southern California coast. The region sees about 10 Santa Ana wind events a year on average, typically occurring from fall into January. When conditions are dry, as they are right now, these winds can become a severe fire hazard.

Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said that the fire department has deployed all available resources and positioned fire patrols and engines in high-risk areas across Los Angeles.

Rain returned to California over the weekend, aiding with the ongoing wildfire fight across the LA area. But the arrival of rain also brought the risk of flash flooding and mudslides in recent burn scar areas.

The Santa Anas are expected to be most powerful Monday night into Tuesday. Fire services across the region say they are ready.

Forecasters in Southern California expect to issue a 'particularly dangerous situation' red flag warning for the coming week as the Santa Ana wind forecast worsens.

The Eaton and Palisades fires have consumed more than 37,000 acres of homes, businesses and landmarks in Altadena and Pacific Palisades.

Weekend rain helped firefighters gain ground on the deadly Palisades and Eaton fires, which started Jan. 7 in a Santa Ana windstorm and destroyed entire neighborhoods. In northern LA County, cooler conditions aided the fight against the Hughes Fire. See below for updates on the three fires.

The clip, released by the law firm Edelson PC, showed multiple sparks from a power line slowly igniting wild flames on a dry Los Angeles hillside.

The destruction in parts of Altadena, a few miles to the west of Sierra Madre, and Pacific Palisades, which had burned in a separate fire on the other side of Los Angeles, made these areas appear bombed out.
