Firefighters survey the scorched backyard of a home in Windsor they saved from the flames of the KincadeFire, which is now more than twice the size of San Francisco and is 15% contained.
The biggest Santa Ana wind event in years may be heading to Southern California Tuesday night, making the dangerous wildfires even more unmanageable.
Over 20,000 residents were forced to evacuate their homes in the middle of the night, including in neighborhoods like Brentwood and the Pacific Palisades, some of the most expensive real estate in the city. "We've seen historically what's happened," said Los Angeles Fire Department Assistant Chief Jaime Moore, citing the 1961 Bel Air Fire that destroyed more than 400 homes.
Moore, defending the decision to evacuate so many residents, warned that the winds could trigger significant fires by stirring up embers and then hurling them one or two miles away."We anticipate that nobody [in the evacuation zone] is going home tonight," Garcetti said Tuesday. Meanwhile, in Northern California, the monster Kincade Fire has been burning since Wednesday night in the heart of wine country.California Gov. Gavin Newsom called the Kincade Fire the most"vexing" and"challenging."
