Severe wildfires have spread rapidly across Southern California, prompting evacuations in various regions, including Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and Pasadena.
Three major fires—the Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst fires—were reported, with the Palisades fire igniting around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
The powerful winds have caused severe damage and risk, aiding in the spread of flames toward residential areas and landmarks like the Getty Villa Museum.
Evacuations have been enforced across affected areas, with emergency shelters established to assist displaced residents.
Current conditions are poised for further danger, with wind gusts reaching up to 99 mph and regions suffering from moderate drought.
