What’s shaping up to be one of the worst wildfire disasters in U.S. history had many causes. Before the blazes raged across Los Angeles last week, eight months with hardly any rain had left the brush-covered landscape bone-dry.

Firefighters are working around the clock to contain the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire. Thousands of people were forced to evacuate when the blazes ignited and destroyed more than 12,000 structures. Here are the latest updates.

The Eaton fire, burning in Altadena, Pasadena and Sierra Madre, was 55% contained as of 6:30 a.m., according to Cal Fire. The Palisades fire, burning in Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Topanga and Mandeville Canyons, inched upward to 22% containment.

The number of confirmed deaths in the fires climbed to at least 27 after authorities said they found remains in the two major fire zones on Wednesday.
