A brutal windstorm caused several fires to break out in the greater Los Angeles area on Jan. 7, with a big blaze in the Pacific Palisades forcing families to evacuate and putting Santa Monica on evacuation notice. Another fire broke out in the east of the city in Eaton Canyon near Pasadena. The Hurst fire in the San Fernando Valley marks a third blaze. The Woodley Fire in Sepulveda Basin has broken out as well. In Riverside County, the Tyler Fire has burned 15 acres so far.
As the conflagration in the Palisades continues to spread, Hollywood has already felt the effects of the event with several premieres set for Wednesday night canceled and production on television shows paused for the time being.
