Description
Four fires burning in Los Angeles County Wednesday (1/8) prompted multiple evacuation orders and warnings amid a windstorm that officials said was expected to worsen through the morning. More than 1,000 structures have been destroyed, and two people are dead, Los Angeles County Fire Department chief Anthony Marrone said.
The Palisades Fire exploded in size as powerful winds hit northwest Los Angeles, forcing the evacuation of at least 30,000 residents in the affluent community of Pacific Palisades. The Eaton, Hurst and Woodley fires are also burning.
The Palisades Fire was first reported at 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time Tuesday and has grown to at least 2,921 acres with zero containment, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CalFire.
More than 10,300 homes were threatened by the blaze, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The number of structures damaged or destroyed was unclear. L.A. fire officials said they had reports of multiple burn victims.
