California Gov. Gavin Newsom warned Los Angeles residents that “we are not out of the woods” from the rapidly spreading Pacific Palisades fire. Los Angeles Fire Chief Andrew Maroney also told residents to heed evacuation warnings, specifically saying that winds are only expected to worsen Tuesday night.
“I want to let all of the viewers and listeners know that we are not out of danger,” Chief Maroney said in a press conference Tuesday. “We’re going to have the most significant wind event between 10 p.m. this evening and 5 a.m. tomorrow morning, so it’s incumbent that everybody, have a wildfire action plan for their home if they live in a brush covered area.”
