Flames engulf Southern California as crews battle to control Palisades Fire
Tens of thousands of Southern Californians were ordered to flee their homes Tuesday after a brushfire exploded in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles.
Fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds and dry conditions, the Palisades Fire ignited Tuesday morning as a brushfire and had grown to nearly 3,000 acres by Tuesday evening.
Dramatic images showed pillars of smoke looming over the coastal neighborhood. Flames could be seen advancing toward, and people were captured fleeing the area on foot.
A resident described the scene to NBC Los Angeles after her escape as “apocalyptic.”
