The Eaton Fire burning in Altadena, California, has been nearly half contained since it began on January 7.

The fire is 45% contained after scorching 14,117 acres, according to the latest data from Cal Fire on Wednesday.

The “upper reaches” of the Eaton Fire could potentially encounter an increase in the dangerous winds fueling a “particularly dangerous situation” (PDS) fire threat in the region, but it is not guaranteed, the National Weather Service said Wednesday.

Authorities have so far confirmed at least 16 people have died and 4,627 structures, including homes, have been destroyed.
