Thousands told to abandon Los Angeles homes as three wildfires rip through suburbs | BBC News


Firefighters in California are battling three different blazes in and around Los Angeles, including a ferocious one that has ripped through the affluent Pacific Palisades neighbourhood.

At least 30,000 people were ordered to evacuate as the blaze in the west of the city exploded rapidly from 10 acres to nearly 3,000 in size.

Los Angeles residents abandoned their cars to flee a fast-moving wildfire as it closed in on a picturesque celebrity enclave, eyewitnesses say.

The fire – which broke out about 10:30 (18:30 GMT) on Tuesday – rapidly spread in incredibly dry conditions and high winds.
