Firefighters made progress on the more than 10,000-acre Hughes Fire Friday, which sent thousands fleeing after sparking near the Los Angeles County community of Castaic a day earlier.

Hughes Fire initially started 10:53 a.m. Jan. 22 in Los Angeles County. It has burned 10,396 acres after being active for 46 hours. By Friday morning, the fire crew succeeded in containing 56% of the wildfire. The cause is, however, still being investigated.

In the last few days, firefighters have battled multiple fires in the hills around Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Winds will linger through at least Friday morning, according to the weather service.

Firefighters continue to battle multiple blazes in Southern California while President Trump is set to visit Los Angeles to tour wildfire damage.

In the era when American cities regularly caught fire, the widespread destruction seeded what looks, in retrospect, like possibility.

California firefighters could make more headway in containing three major wildfires burning in and around Los Angeles on Friday, as the latest round of blistering winds calm and the area's first rainfall in months arrives over the weekend.
