Evacuated residents wait hours for a chance to return to burned LA neighborhoods

  • By CHRISTOPHER WEBER Associated Press

Evacuated residents are waiting in their cars for hours to get permission to return to Los Angeles neighborhoods devastated by the Palisades Fire, which has been burning for three weeks and destroyed thousands of homes and other structures. A line of vehicles snaked along Pacific Coast Highway on Tuesday after the last of the evacuation orders were lifted. Motorists inched into a beachside parking lot, where they must show ID to receive a permit that allows them to drive into the burn zone. Residents must be out of the area by nightfall because a curfew is still in effect.
