A dangerous windstorm fanned blazes in the Los Angeles area, including the Palisades Fire, while millions of people across Southern California are under a red flag warning.
The Palisades blaze had burned 300 acres as of this afternoon, and its cause is under investigation.
The city of Los Angeles issued an evacuation order the Palisades area.
The blaze has exploded because of a combination of dry conditions and powerful winds, which are likely to strengthen further overnight.
