LOS ANGELES-On Sunday morning, the evacuation order was still in place because the staff continued to fight the Pacific Palisades, which burned 1,325 acres of bushfires, covering 0% of the area. This is a coastal Los Angeles community with many surrounding areas. With multi-million dollar houses.
The Palisades fire ignited in a remote area of ??the Santa Monica Mountains on Friday night, burning through a canyon in a nearby community.
In the afternoon of the next day, a fire extinguished the flames on the firefighters’ control line, triggering a multi-agency response on the ground and in the air. Within a few hours, the fire exploded 750 acres, and the fire was threatening nearby buildings in the Topanga Canyon area.
On Sunday morning, the fire expanded to 835 acres, and about 1,000 residents of the community were still evacuated. Palisades residents also warned that if the wind changes, they may need to leave.
Although the cause of the fire is still under investigation, officials from the Los Angeles Fire Department said the fire was “suspicious” and law enforcement is looking for potential arsonists on Saturday.
The exchange of fire has always been challenging. According to LAFD, the fire is destroying dry vegetation that hasn’t burned for more than 50 years, and has hindered ground operations due to staff having to deal with steep terrain that is difficult to navigate.
As the land-based winds spread to the fire on Saturday, bulldozers were used to provide ground access for the crew-although most of the fire fighting was done in the air, most areas were still inaccessible.
Due to the cool and humid weather, the crew saw a calmer fire overnight, but officials expect that later Sunday, the temperature will rise and the land wind will rise again, and the situation will change.
LAFD said that afternoon winds may push the fire to the northwest, and resource protection structures were deployed in the area on Sunday. As of Sunday morning, there was no damage to the building and no reports of injuries.
Pacific Palisades is an affluent community between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, not far from Malibu. It is the residence of many celebrities.
