The deadly Eaton Fire in Altadena and Pasadena is 35% contained Wednesday while red flag warnings of critical fire danger will be in place over the burn area and much of SoCal through 6 p.m. with some areas under the alert until Thursday afternoon.

Hundreds of evacuees and volunteers on Saturday descended on the parking lot at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, where a grassroots donation center was set up a few miles south of the Eaton Fire. The ad-hoc donation center was established outside the race track after being moved from the parking lot of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

Containment of the deadly Palisades Fire crept upward as fire crews focused their efforts on protecting homes in the Mandeville Canyon area and snuffing out hot spots ahead of another round of potentially damaging Santa Ana winds Tuesday.
