Firefighters are optimistic as calmer winds on Friday are expected to assist them in gaining control over the Palisades Fire, which has already burned approximately 20,000 acres in Southern California.
Brent Pascua, battalion chief for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), expressed hopefulness about the progress made so far. He mentioned that efforts on the previous day had shown promise in turning the tide against the fire.
