(CLO) After more than three weeks of wildfires, Los Angeles firefighters announced that they had completely controlled the Palisades and Eaton fires on January 31, ending one of the most devastating fires in the city's history.


Cal Fire, the California state fire agency, confirmed that both fires were 100% contained, meaning they were no longer capable of spreading. Evacuation orders had been lifted earlier when the threat was no longer severe. The exact cause of the fires is still under investigation.

The two fires have burned an area of ​​more than 150 square kilometers, destroyed more than 10,000 houses and killed about 30 people, forcing thousands of residents to evacuate.

A new analysis released this week found that human-caused climate change has increased the risk of wildfires in the region. The combination of reduced rainfall, dry vegetation and strong Santa Ana winds has created favorable conditions for the fires to spread.

According to research by many experts, the possibility of similar fires has increased by about 35% due to global warming from burning fossil fuels.

The two fires broke out on January 7 and quickly devastated the wealthy neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Altadena. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass pledged to speed up the rebuilding process and ensure residents can return to their homes as safely as possible.

City Police Chief Jim McDonnell said he would increase security in the area to prevent further fire hazards.

AccuWeather estimates the total economic cost of the two fires at between $250 billion and $275 billion, marking one of the costliest natural disasters Los Angeles has ever faced.
