Eaton Fire initially started 6:18 p.m. Jan. 7 in Los Angeles County. Since its discovery eight days ago, it has burned 14,117 acres. A fire crew of 3,404 has been working on site and, as of Wednesday evening, they managed to contain 45% of the fire. However, investigations into the cause are ongoing.

The traumatized region made it through Wednesday without another major fire breaking out, after forecasters had warned of another round of particularly dangerous winds.

As some evacuees from the Eaton and Palisades fires begin to return home on Wednesday, a week after their neighborhoods were devastated by the destructive blazes, health officials say there's still plenty of cause for concern.
