After nearly two weeks, firefighters in Los Angeles announced Friday that they were seeing the "light at the end of the tunnel" in fighting the blazes that have consumed much of Southern California.

What does this entail? Well, according to The Wall Street Journal, the two biggest fires haven't grown in the past few days; while the Palisades fire was only 31 percent contained early on Friday, the Altadena fire was 65 percent contained. Over 12,000 structures and 40,000 acres have burned; according to the New York Post, 27 are dead and 31 are still missing.
