palisades firesA fast-moving brush fire fueled by dangerously high-speed Santa Ana winds threatened homes in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles on Tuesday, prompting mass evacuation orders for roughly 30,000 residents and power shutoffs.

The fire was first reported at 10:10 a.m. local time along the West Sunset Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department and CalFire. It grew to 200 acres within about 90 minutes, threatening nearby homes and emitting a thick black smoke. By late afternoon, Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said the fire had rapidly spread to 1,200 acres.

Crowley told reporters that several structures have been damaged and no injuries have been reported. The chief said over 10,000 households and 13,000 structures are threatened.
