A host of famous Hollywood landmarks remained under threat Thursday as the deadly fires laying waste to vast parts of Los Angeles County and its immediate surrounds show no sign of abatement.
Two new blazes broke out overnight in the Hollywood Hills and Studio City forcing first responders to redeploy their stretched resources to the smoldering landscape, the Daily Mail reports.
Over 100,000 people have now been told to flee at least five separate blazes, including in the heart of historic Hollywood, just a few hundred yards from the storied theaters of Hollywood Boulevard.
Red flag warnings remain in effect for L.A. County and much of Ventura County through the next 24-hour period.
Breitbart News Reports on Devastating Los Angeles Fire in the Pacific Palisades
New fires appeared to be spotting as embers were thrown up to 2.5 miles including one that razed a large property late Wednesday in the densely populated Studio City area.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame, the TLC Chinese Theatre, Dolby Theater, Capitol Records Building, Magic Castle, and the Hollywood Bowl have all been cleared as the blaze – dubbed the Sunset Fire – continues to wreak havoc.
An alert read: “A Mandatory Evacuation Order is now in place for Laurel Canyon Blvd (on the west) to Mulholland Dr (on the north) to 101 Freeway (on the east) down to Hollywood Blvd (on the south).”
Fire chiefs in California say there is no chance of containing the extensive wildfires, as high winds fuel the blaze across the Pacific Palisades.
