A wildfire that started in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles on Tuesday morning has spread across the west of the city at an alarming rate throughout Tuesday and overnight.<\/p>\n

High winds and very dry conditions further fuelled the flames, causing the blaze to rip through neighbourhoods at alarming speeds. The fires reportedly spread from a size of 10 acres to nearly 3,000<\/a> in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n

Firefighters have been battling the flames throughout the night, as residents were forced to flee amid evacuation orders affecting tens of thousands of people.<\/p>\n

Photographers have captured dramatic scenes across the west of the city as firefighters work to control the fires.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The BBC’s Regan Morris reported on fires raging out of control<\/a>, leaving those without power and phone signal unable to receive updates on the latest evacuation alerts. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, CBS reporter Jonathan Vigliotti said<\/a> firefighters were no longer “trying to save” houses in the Palisades, “they’re trying to prevent these flames from jumping to other neighbourhoods”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
