Current wildfires in Southern CA, obtained from Cal Fire Incidents Page on Jan 29th at 3 PM EST

The image of the map from Cal Fire that I shared above is a little small of necessity so I could show the location of the four fires that I will update below. This information was obtained from the Cal Fire Incidents Page  and is current at the time I post this article. Recent rainfall in southern California has no doubt aided the firefighters in fighting these fires.

• Eaton Fire, Los Angeles County, 14,021 acres burned, 99 percent containment
