LOS ANGELES – The worst fears have come to fruition in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, where a devastating wildfire, fueled by strong Santa Ana winds, has resulted in the destruction of approximately 1,000 structures, predominantly homes, as confirmed by officials on Wednesday morning.
The Palisades Fire was first reported around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday in the 1100 block of North Piedra Morada Drive. By Wednesday afternoon, the fire had expanded dramatically to nearly 12,000 acres with no containment in sight.
During a news conference on Wednesday morning, L.A. County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone stated that around 1,000 structures have been lost. He also reported a significant number of individuals who failed to evacuate suffered serious injuries.
As the Palisades Fire wreaks havoc on the neighborhood amid intense winds, firefighters have been engaged in a desperate battle to control the flames. Various images depict the tremendous scale of the fire, with flames encroaching on properties and aerial efforts to douse the fire with water.
With daylight revealing the full extent of the damage, entire neighborhoods and commercial districts have been laid to waste in this affluent coastal area.
Evacuations have been mandated for the entire Pacific Palisades region down to the ocean, affecting tens of thousands of homes and businesses. Residents of Santa Monica and Calabasas have also received evacuation warnings.
