As firefighters Monday improved containment of the massive Eaton Fire burn area to 98%, and continued to root out hot spots, the National Weather Service said the cold winter storm that dropped rain on Altadena over the weekend will head out today.

Only light showers are expected by Monday afternoon. For most areas there will be a chance of partly cloudy skies late in the afternoon.

A new Disaster Recovery Center will open in Altadena on Monday, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will be available to residents seven days a week. The new center will be located at 540 W. Woodbury Road. Both the Pasadena and Altadena locations will be open through the end of January, but beginning Feb. 1, the Pasadena location will close and all services will shift to Altadena.

On Monday, the Pasadena Unified School District, which includes schools in Altadena, will reopen Field Elementary School, Washington Elementary STEM Magnet, Madison Elementary, Norma Coombs Elementary and the Children’s Center on the Jefferson campus. Some schools reopened earlier this week, and the district is setting a goal of returning all students to in-person learning by Thursday.

Pasadena Water and Power lifted the do-not-drink water notice for the remaining areas in its service territory Friday, while the Foothill Municipal Water District said it expected to pressurize the water system fully over the weekend. Testing will then take up to two weeks before that do-not-drink order can be lifted.

An evacuation center remained open at the Pasadena Convention Center at 300 E. Green St. Cal Fire officials said “repopulation efforts have been completed,” though the agency said there were 571 evacuees in six shelters as of Saturday.

Southern California Edison reported that service has been restored to 12,422 structures, with 6,961 remaining without power.

SoCalGas officials temporarily shut off natural gas service to thousands of customers in the Pasadena, Altadena and Sierra Madre communities as a safety measure. As of Saturday, the utility had restored service to 6,466 of them. The Gas Co. has established an information booth for residents at the FEMA Disaster Recovery Center at Pasadena City College’s Community Education Center, 3035 E. Foothill Blvd.

The Eaton Fire was reported about 6:20 p.m. Jan. 7 in the area of Altadena Drive and Midwick Drive in the hills above Altadena amid hurricane force Santa Ana winds, according to Cal Fire. The cause of the fire has not been determined.
