Firefighters are making promising progress on the Palisades fire, with operations chief Kristian Litz describing “minimal activity” in some parts as crews stop the spread of the fire’s boundary and cool off hotspots.

In the Topanga Canyon and Silvia Park area, “that edge of that fire has not moved, it looks really good,” he said, speaking at a Palisades community meeting Saturday evening.

The fire moved further east on Friday, and “we did have some activity there,” he said — but “we’ve built a robust plan … as the situation changes for us, as it cools throughout the night, as the activity goes down, they’re going to attack it from both sides.”

Crews are using aircraft including helicopters and airplanes, with engines and crews on the ground that have been working nonstop — to the point their vehicles are coated in the bright pink of retardant being sprayed everywhere.

Toward Mandeville Canyon — where the blaze shifted on Friday, forcing expanded evacuation orders and wa ings — “the fire is down,” said Litz. “Winds in our favor in that area, so it looks really good. We have to continue to work hard in that area to secure it.”

In Pacific Palisades, the boundary of the fire hasn’t moved in several days, but crews are still hard at work going through damaged structures and making sure there aren’t lingering hotspots or further fire damage.
