Due to a forest fire spreading in Los Angeles, California, under the influence of strong winds, an evacuation order has been issued for approximately 30,000 people. 3,000 HECTARES TURNED TO ASHAccording to reports in the US press, forest fires started in Los Angeles as strong winds combined with dry weather conditions. In the fire, approximately 3,000 hectares of land in the Pacific Palisades area were turned to ash, and an evacuation order was issued for about 30,000 people. STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLAREDMeanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that efforts to combat the fire are ongoing and declared a "state of emergency" in Los Angeles. LUXURY CARS CRUSHED ON LIVE BROADCASTThe fire caused traffic congestion in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, leading some to abandon their cars in the middle of the road and flee. Firefighters are trying to clear the abandoned cars from the road with bulldozers. Dozens of cars, including luxury models like BMW and Mercedes, were seen being crushed on live broadcast. Some car alarms were heard going off. CELEBRITIES' HOMES BURNEDActor Steve Guttenberg, who gained worldwide fame for his role in the comedy film Police Academy in 1984, said he was trying to get his friends out of the area, but the roads were closed. Speaking to a television channel, Guttenberg said, "If you are going to leave your car, leave the keys in it so that someone else can move the car off the road and allow fire trucks to get in. This is really very important." American theater and film actor James Woods was also among those whose homes were engulfed in flames. The 77-year-old Woods shared footage he took during the evacuation on social media and thanked the first responders. The home of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag was also turned to ashes in the fire. Sources close to the couple reported that the family evacuated their home earlier in the day and that they are safe. MILLION-DOLLAR MANSIONS TURNED TO ASHESPacific Palisades, where homes have already turned to rubble, is a famous residential area that hosts Hollywood celebrities like Chris Pratt, Reese Witherspoon, and Miles Teller. The area is home to many million-dollar mansions. The fire, which broke out in the morning, grew rapidly, and dozens of firefighters attempted to control the fire from the air. Residents in the area told reporters that the fire spread very quickly. Andrew Hires, who lives in Pacific Palisades, told AFP that he received a message while his child was preparing to have a tooth extracted at the dentist, and he immediately fled with his child. "We were stuck in traffic for 20 minutes and saw that children were being evacuated from Calvary School," he said. "THIS NIGHT WILL BE TOUGH"Warnings have been issued that the storm in the area could reach speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour. Meteorologist Daniel Swain, speaking to AFP, said, "This night will be tough; this is just the beginning because the weather conditions will worsen." The opening by US President Joe Biden and the premiere events for Jennifer Lopez's new film Unstoppable have been canceled. GOVERNOR NEWSOM: DANGER CONTINUESCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom stated that the strong winds affecting the area have caused the fire to spread rapidly, saying, "We are not yet out of danger. We are already seeing the devastating effects of this fire that started in Pacific Palisades and grew rapidly." Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Anthony Marrone also stated that meteorologists predict that the wind intensity will increase further, saying, "The danger continues." Efforts to combat the fire are ongoing.
