Palisades Fire Grows to 200 Acres Amid 100 mph Winds; Evacuations Ordered in Pacific Palisades
Jan 7, 2025, 07:25 PM
A rapidly moving brush fire, dubbed the Palisades Fire, has erupted near Piedra Morada Drive in Pacific Palisades, California, threatening homes and prompting evacuation orders. The fire broke out at around 11 a.m. local time on Tuesday amid a rare January red flag warning and has quickly grown to over 200 acres within hours, fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds gusting between 40 and 100 miles per hour. Flames are visible from Santa Monica and downtown Los Angeles. The fire has crossed both sides of Palisades Drive, causing traffic gridlock that is hindering evacuations. Authorities report spotting up to half a mile ahead, and air support with multiple helicopters is assisting firefighting efforts. The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for Los Angeles and Ventura counties, indicating extreme wildfire risk due to high winds and low humidity. The blaze is moving toward residential areas, including Pacific Palisades, Topanga, and Malibu, and authorities are urging residents to evacuate or be prepared to leave immediately.
