PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — The battle against the Palisades Fire entered day 6 on Thursday, and firefighters continue to gain the upper hand. Containment of the 1,158 acre blaze reached 66% on Thursday, with no homes or buildings lost in the fire.

A homeless man accused of setting the fires was arrested Sunday and charged with arson. The man, identified as Ramon Santo Rodriguez, pleaded not guilty and will have a preliminary hearing June 1.

"Regarding the cause, it is labeled suspicious," Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Ralph Terrazas said Monday. "The LAFD Arson Counterterrorism Section, along with [Los Angeles Police Department], have aggressively pursued all tips and all leads. I want to have a special thank you to the community that provided us those tips and leads. We have to work together as a community. This problem is so significant in terms of major brush fires."
