The Eaton fire in Altadena has rapidly grown to 400 acres, doubling in size from the initial estimate of 200 acres, as reported by the Angeles National Forest. The fire's escalation prompted urgent evacuation orders for residents in the eastern Los Angeles County area. This precautionary measure was deemed necessary due to the forecast of continued high winds overnight, exacerbating the fire's spread. Simultaneously, tens of thousands of individuals were forced to flee the Palisades fire, adding to the urgency of the situation.
