The Eaton Fire burning in foothills above Altadena and Pasadena started Tuesday night and has burned more than 5,000 structures, a term that includes homes, apartment buildings, businesses, outbuildings and vehicles.

People can pick up food, clothing, toiletries, baby items - just about everything to help them survive the next few days.

Los Angeles County Fire Department Chief Anthony Marrone said Thursday morning the spread of the fire had been significantly slowed in most areas thanks to efforts of firefighters and diminishing winds.

By Thursday afternoon, however, the advance of flames on Mount Wilson increased the size of the fire to 13,690 acres.
