Some residents affected by the Palisades fire have been allowed to return home, beginning the first steps on the long road to recovery.
On Friday afternoon, an evacuation order was issued and a repopulation began in areas that were subsequently downgraded by authorities.

Evacuation orders are currently in place for some areas, while others are only open to residents. More areas returned to “normal” Friday, according to a CalFire release.
Neighborhoods approved for partial repopulation of residents only include:
Areas off Topanga Canyon Boulevard from Viewridge Road to Grand View Drive Areas off Old Topanga Canyon Road from Topanga Canyon to Tuna Canyon, Saddle Peak Road, Monte Nido and Las Vergenes Road
Additionally, although some areas may be accessible by multiple routes during normal times, authorities have designated three entry and exit points for partial repopulation:
Cold Canyon Road and Mulholland Highway Old Topanga Canyon and Dry Canyon Cold Creek Road Topanga Canyon Boulevard and Viewridge Road
Officials said residents will need to show proof of residency in the form of a photo ID with their name, photo and address to re-enter.

‘I feel like my expectations were let down,’ assistant fire chief tells Pacific Palisades community
As of early Saturday morning, the Palisades fire was 43% contained. Since erupting on January 7, it has burned more than 23,000 acres, destroyed thousands of buildings in the Pacific Palisades, and killed 10 people.
At the same time, the Eaton Fire, which was 73% contained at the time of publication, reduced thousands of structures to ash and rubble further east in the Altadena area after breaking out on the same day as the Palisades Fire. A total of 17 people have died in the fires, and dozens more are missing in connection with both devastating wildfires.
