Massive fire burning in Palisades near Los Angeles

As strong winds continued to batter Southern California, a large brush fire broke out in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Pacific Palisades on Tuesday.

Fire crews were battling a handful of fast-moving fires in the Los Angeles hillsides and residents living in the area of the Pacific Palisades were forced to evacuate their homes.

The Palisades Fire swiftly consumed about 772 acres of dry brush as of 2 p.m. PT. The blaze sent up a huge plume of smoke visible across the city. Residents in Venice Beach, some 6 miles away, reported seeing the flames.

The blaze was one of nearly 8,000 wildfires that added up to scorch more than 1,560 square miles in the Golden State last year.
