Homes destroyed in coastal Pacific Palisades neighbourhood as residents rush to escape on canyon roads
Raging wildfires fanned by strong winds tore across the wealthy Los Angeles neighbourhood of Pacific Palisades on Tuesday, burning homes and prompting the city to issue evacuation orders to 30,000 people. Nearly 1,200 acres were burning in the hills around the Palisades, an affluent coastal community with some of the most expensive property in the US, the Los Angeles Fire Department said on Tuesday. There were no reports of how the blaze began.
“We’ve been evacuated three times but this is the scariest we’ve seen,” said Susan Vash, who evacuated on Tuesday afternoon and is staying with family in Santa Monica, a coastal city just to the south. She has lived in Mandeville Canyon area of the Palisades since 1998. “Every time this happens we say we have to move, but we never do.” The fire threatened the Getty Villa, and some trees and plants on the hilltop site were burnt. But the collection remained safe, the museum’s president said.
