Bay Area firefighters joined forces with other crews to contain a massive wildfire that started Tuesday morning and has already razed nearly 3,000 acres in Los Angeles County.
Dubbed the Palisades Fire, the blaze started in the mountains north of the affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood in Los Angeles around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. As of 12:40 a.m. Wednesday, 2,921 acres have reportedly been affected by the fire.
Crews from Alameda County, Oakland, Hayward and Fremont have joined a “strike team” formed by Cal Fire to contain the massive wildfire.
Cal Fire’s division for the San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties has also joined the response.
Nearly 30,000 residents have been ordered to evacuate across Los Angeles County, including parts of Pasadena, Santa Monica and Malibu. The city of Los Angeles has also declared a state of emergency, according to officials.
