A massive wildfire has been sparked in the Pacific Palisades region of Southern California by high winds and dry conditions.

 

A rapidly spreading wildfire is causing the entire Pacific Palisades community to be told to “evacuate immediately”.

 

Palisades Fire was first reported at 10:30 am on Tuesday, in the block of North Piedra Morada Drive. The fire was estimated to have spread to 700 acres by 2:10 pm and would continue to grow.

 

 

Scott stated, “Fires are burning in the west near Pacific Palisades Highlands, with Rustic Canyon to the east & Topanga Cyn on the West. All of these areas have been placed under an evacuation warning.”

 

The worst part is that it is believed to be at its very beginning, and the winds are forecast to increase significantly on Tuesday evening.

 

 

The east flank of #PalisadesFire has ripped. The view I have from the 3rd Street Promenade, Santa Monica. If the winds increase as predicted tonight, we could be in danger of Bel Air and Sepulveda Pass if this thing continues to move east. As you can see in the video, there are nonstop sirens.

 

X has a lot of videos and images from this area. James Woods, an actor from the UK, has shared footage of his home in the path of the fire. After confirming that all members of his family were safe and out, he then posted the footage.

 

 

 

The high winds forced President Joe Biden to cancel his planned trip to Thermal, California on Tuesday afternoon to speak about the creation of new monuments honoring Native American tribes.

 

 

Due to his presence, the Temporary Flight Restriction was invoked. This limited the ability of aerial news coverage to cover the situation.

 

Sunset Boulevard was a scene of chaos as drivers were forced to abandon vehicles and run on foot.
