The Palisades Fire was 8% contained as it burned for a fourth day Friday, fire officials said.
More than 3,000 fire personnel are battling the blaze. At least five people were killed.
Fire officials said Santa Ana wind gusts are expected to increase throughout the day Friday, which could test the fire’s containment lines.
Evacuation Orders And warnings
Evacuation orders have been reduced for Santa Monica to warnings.
Additionally, evacuation orders have been issued for residents on the northeastern side of the fire, including the Getty Center.
Two more evacuation centers were also opened at the Lanark Recreation Center at 21816 Lanark St, Canoga Park, CA 91304, and at the Van Nuys Recreation Center at 14201 Huston St, Sherman Oaks, 91423.
There’s a 6 p.m. – 6 a.m. curfew in place for all areas under mandatory evacuation orders and evacuation warnings in the Palisades Fire. Around 7 p.m. Friday, a new flare-up on the northeastern edge of the fire broke out, forcing evacuations in the Mandeville Canyon and Encino areas.
The flames have also led officials to consider closing portions of the 405 Freeway near Bel-Air and Westwood.
