Large residential areas across Los Angeles, including some of its most affluent ZIP codes in Malibu, were under mandatory evacuation orders on Wednesday as strong winds and dry conditions fueled the Palisades fire.
Three separate areas were under mandatory evacuation orders from California fire officials. Near the Palisades fire, an area from San Vicente Boulevard to Malibu Canyon Road was ordered to evacuate. Included are parts of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, Brentwood and Bel Air. Parts of Calabasas south of Highway 101 were under evacuation warnings, and much of the Pacific Coast Highway from Malibu to Santa Monica was closed.
Parts of north Pasadena were under mandatory evacuation orders from the Eaton fire, including parts of Altadena, Sierra Madre and Arcadia.
The Hurst fire, burning near San Fernando, forced mandatory evacuation orders for several neighborhoods in south Santa Clarita, including Sylmar and Olive View.
