A small brushfire that ignited around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday has escalated into a nightmarish situation for residents of Pacific Palisades. California has declared a state of emergency as authorities combat the wind-driven wildfire.
Since the brushfire was reported, more than 2,900 acres have already been burned as smaller blazes in the Los Angeles area, including the Palisades Fire, were fanned by a dangerous windstorm throughout the day.
