Palisades Fire: Home collapses while reporter on the air in Los Angeles: “It is a WAR ZONE”

A fifth wildfire in Southern California – the Woodley Fire – has broken out in Los Angeles County.

The fire began around 6:15 a.m. local time Wednesday and so far has burned about 75 acres around the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve in Encino, according to Cal Fire.

It is currently 0% contained.

The Woodley Fire is located between the massive Palisades Fire to the south, and the Hurst Fire to the north, which now has consumed at least 500 acres, officials say.
Firefighters successfully contained a wildfire in Tyler, California, on Wednesday, but at least four more still burn across the state.

Firefighters began responding to the Tyler fire early Wednesday morning as it spread to roughly 15 acres, but it has now been contained.

Four other fires continue to burn across the state, including in the Palisades, Woodley, Eaton and Hurst. Los Angeles lies roughly in the center of the four remaining blazes.

The Palisades Fire, driven by strong Santa Ana winds, began in the Santa Monica Mountains late Tuesday morning and quickly engulfed 200 acres within an hour, surging to nearly 3,000 acres by sunset, FOX Weather reported.

Orange County Fire Chief Brian Fennessy joined “Fox News @ Night” on Tuesday to give an update on how firefighters are battling the fast-moving flames, but said there isn’t much that can be done to stop them, so crews are focusing on evacuating and rescuing anyone still in the area.
