The wildfires in and around Los Angeles have been fully contained after three weeks, according to local authorities.

Both the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire, two separate major infernos, are under control.

Several severe wildfires broke out around Los Angeles in early January, driven by strong winds and extremely dry conditions.

More than 16,200 buildings were destroyed. At least 29 people lost their lives.

The Eaton Fire that scorched more than 14,000 acres (57 square km) east of Los Angeles has been 100% contained, fire officials said on Friday, a largely symbolic milestone more than three weeks after two devastating wildfires broke out on either side of Los Angeles.

The larger Palisades Fire, which has consumed 23,448 acres (95 square km) on the west side of Los Angeles, was also now 100% contained, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said.

According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), the larger Palisades Fire, which has burned 23,448 acres (95 square kilometers) on the west side of Los Angeles, was also completely doused.
