The City has yet to issue a mandatory evacuation order but has urged residents to be ready as the Palisades Fire sweeping across the state is “uncontained” and being “fueled by winds from Santa Ana.” Those who need extra time due to having pets or livestock were told to evacuate now.

Residents abandoned their cars and fled on foot, as high winds fueled flames raging between Santa Monica and Malibu. Officials warned it could worsen overnight.
