Another blaze, the Eaton fire, hits Los Angeles area, sparks more evacuations: See fire map

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.

Officials have not confirmed whether the Eaton Fire has caused damage to any nearby homes or structures, KTTV reported.

Meanwhile city, county and state fire crews are battling the fire in the Pacific Palisades that has threatened more than 10,000 households and 13,000 structures, Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said at news conference.

“By no stretch of the imagination are we out of the woods,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the press conference. “I saw firsthand the impact of these swirling winds and the embers and the number of structures that are destroyed. Not a few, many structures already destroyed.”
