The Eaton Fire is currently active in the Angeles National Forest, having reached 100% containment. The fire has been a significant incident, prompting a comprehensive response from various fire agencies to manage the situation effectively. Fortunately, all evacuation orders and warnings have been lifted, indicating that the immediate threat to local communities has subsided. Nonetheless, damage assessments have been completed for all structures within the fire's footprint, allowing for a clearer understanding of its impact.

Fire agencies have utilized a variety of resources to suppress the fire, and ongoing assessments are being conducted to ensure that potential risks are addressed. The Angeles National Forest has issued a closure order for the Eaton Fire Area, which will remain in effect through December 31, 2025. This measure is intended to protect the public and facilitate recovery efforts in the affected regions. The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program is also in place to identify and mitigate risks to natural and cultural resources in the aftermath of the fire.

Weather conditions have played a critical role in the firefighting efforts. As the forecast predicts potential rain, residents are encouraged to prepare by obtaining sandbags from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. These preparations are vital in light of possible debris flows and flooding in the areas affected by the fire. In addition, ongoing air quality resources are available to the public, including tools for managing smoke exposure and assessing air quality levels through links to various environmental organizations. The community remains informed through local emergency management resources and updates from the Pasadena Unified School District regarding school operations in the wake of the fire.
