A fast-moving wildfire fueled by strong winds and dry brush threatens homes in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles. Residents are evacuating as the blaze consumes over 200 acres and sends a massive plume of smoke across the city. A powerful windstorm is expected to last for days, bringing dangerous conditions and increasing the risk of further wildfires.
Firefighters scrambled to contain a rapidly spreading wildfire in the Los Angeles hills, known for celebrity homes, as a powerful windstorm battered Southern California on Tuesday. The blaze, fueled by dry brush and strong winds, quickly consumed over 200 acres in the Pacific Palisades area, sending a massive plume of smoke visible across the city. Residents were ordered to evacuate as flames approached homes, and traffic became gridlocked as people fled the area.
The windstorm, predicted to last for days with gusts reaching over 100 mph in mountainous regions, brought dangerous conditions, toppling trees, creating hazardous surf, and increasing the risk of wildfires. Fire crews battled multiple smaller blazes across the Los Angeles area. Actor James Woods shared footage of the fire burning through bushes and past palm trees near his Pacific Palisades home. Actor Steve Guttenberg, also residing in the Pacific Palisades, urged residents who abandoned their vehicles to leave their keys behind to allow for easier access for firetrucks. He described the chaotic scene as people attempted to evacuate
