Rain was falling across Southern California on Sunday, bringing some relief to thousands of firefighters who have been battling multiple major wildfires in the LA area.

The rain is raising concerns about potential mudslides in recent burn scar areas, including Malibu, Altadena, and other regions.

Southern California is about to get its first significant rainfall in months, bringing desperately needed relief after dry conditions and hazardous winds fueled a series of wildfires in January. The rain could start as early as Saturday afternoon and last through Monday night with the heaviest rain coming on Sunday,

After weeks of windy and dry weather, rain has fallen in parched Southern California and is expected to aid firefighters who are mopping up multiple wildfires. But potentially heavy downpours on charred hillsides could bring new troubles such as toxic ash runoff.

Rain is finally coming to Los Angeles County and is expected to benefit the fights against wildfires. “If we get gentle rains, it’s going to help make those burn areas recover and re-vegetate,” said Jayme Laber,
