The California brush fire, which has now scorched 3,000 acres, is rapidly spreading, posing a serious threat to both Los Angeles and Malibu. As the fire continues to rage, residents in the affected areas are facing mandatory evacuation orders.

The massive Palisades Fire broke out in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon, prompting mandatory evacuations affecting tens of thousands of people and highway closures. Later Tuesday, the Eaton Fire broke out in the foothills of Pasadena on the other side of Los Angeles County.
