The Palisades Fire was reported around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 7, near the Temescal Ridge Trail. Within an hour, it was at 200 acres. The first evacuation order was in the Parker Mesa neighborhood, just west of the Getty Villa museum, and by 1 p.m. the zone had grown to more than 20 square miles.
The map above shows the evacuation area in red. For updates and details, including the warning areas, see the Genasys Protect map or the Los Angeles County emergency site.
The fire is about 8 miles from the burn zone of last month’s Franklin Fire, in Malibu.
The National Weather Service had warned of “extreme” winds, possibly reaching 100 mph, in the Los Angeles area, and officials responded by closing some roads and school campuses.
