- Story Text: The sun rose through heavy smoke in fire-struck Pacific Palisades on Thursday (January 9) as the worst wildfires in the history of Los Angeles raged across the city.
The Palisades fire consumed 15,832 acres (6,406 hectares) and hundreds of structures in the hills between Santa Monica and Malibu, racing down Topanga Canyon until reaching the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday (January 7).
A crescent of flame squeezed Los Angeles in a huge pincer visible from space. More than 100,000 people were ordered to evacuate as dry, hurricane-force winds spread flames across parched ground that has seen no rain for months.
At least five people have died since the fires erupted on Tuesday..
