Winds of sixty miles per hour have been the driving force behind

the Palisades Fire, which began on January 7, 2025 in Pacific

Palisades and has since consumed over 1,260 acres without being contained.

Due to the fact that the fire poses a significant risk to the

communities that are located in the surrounding area, Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency.

Additionally, evacuation warnings have been issued for 19 additional

areas, in addition to mandatory evacuations that have been issued for

15 zones. For the convenience of residents who have been displaced,

an evacuation center has been established at the Westwood Recreation Center.

There are a number of roads that are closed, including the Pacific Coast Highway.

In an effort to bring the fire under control, firefighters from CAL FIRE and local

departments are currently working. Steve Guttenberg, an actor, has joined the efforts

to assist with evacuations and has urged residents to clear roads for emergency vehicles when they are needed
