....LA is Burning!

Another major fire with the potential to grow fast broke out in Los Angeles County on Tuesday as the Palisades Fire burned over 3,000 acres, destroyed structures, sent residents fleeing and threatened the famed Getty Villa.


The Eaton Fire was first reported around 6:30 p.m. local time near the eastern Los Angeles suburb of Altadena, according to KTTV and CBS News. Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for several streets nearby and in parts of neighboring Pasadena.

Cal Fire confirmed the Eaton fire rapidly spread to 200 acres as of Tuesday night and was at 0% containment amid a brutal Southern California wind storm expected to peak overnight. The Pasadena Fire Department said the fire is being fueled by the ongoing Santa Ana winds, CBS News reported.
