Tens of thousands have fled their homes as a brush fire in the Pacific Palisades has burned more than 20,400 acres as of Friday. Fire crews are actively working to stop forward progress of the flames,

Fierce wildfires are raging in the Los Angeles area, fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds, sending residents fleeing from burning homes through flames, ferocious winds and towering clouds of smoke.

The Palisades Fire just north of Santa Monica is currently at over 20,400 acres with 8% containment, the Eaton Fire near Pasadena is at over 13,900 acres with 3% containment, the Hurst Fire in the San Fernando Valley is at 771 acres at 37% containment, and the new Kenneth Fire in Woodland Hills is at 1,000 acres with 35% containment.

The Federal Aviation Administration was forced to issue a reminder on January 9th, shortly after an unidentified civilian drone collided with a Canadair CL-415 Super Scooper at approximately 1PM PST over the Palisades firestorm.

California’s insurance commissioner won’t allow canceled or nonrenewed policies in and around the fire zones for a year.

The Sunset Fire in the Hollywood Hills follows other blazes in the L.A. area, including the Palisades and Eaton fires, that have displaced tens of thousands.
