Three active fires in Los Angeles neared full containment Monday, after the region received much-needed rain that produced flood and mudslide warnings lasting through the afternoon. The Eaton Fire is nearly contained as of Sunday morning.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — More rain fell Monday on parts of Southern California after causing mudflows over the weekend, helping firefighters but boosting the risk of toxic ash runoff in areas scorched by Los Angeles-area wildfires.

The charred soil left by the wildfires could create conditions ripe for mudslides because the rain, which will last into Monday, will just run off, forecasters said.
