Palisades Fire ravages homes, closes Pacific Coast Highway
More than 13,000 homes and businesses are threatened by the Palisades Fire burning in Los Angeles County. There are no reports of any reports of injuries, and officials don't know what started it.
The fire began a few miles north of Santa Monica Tuesday morning, and within an hour, it quickly grew due to dry conditions and extremely strong winds.
The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, declared a state of emergency as the Palisades Fire destroyed homes and families evacuated the area.
"This is a highly dangerous windstorm that’s creating extreme fire risk – and we’re not out of the woods. We’re already seeing the destructive impacts with this fire in Pacific Palisades that grew rapidly in a matter of minutes. Our deepest thanks go to our expert firefighters and first responders who jumped quickly into fighting this dangerous fire. If you’re in Southern California, please pay attention to weather reports and follow any guidance from emergency officials," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a news release.
