You may see the dramatic evacuation of about 100 residents — many in wheelchairs — unfolding in a 7-Eleven parking zone throughout from The Terraces at Park Marino, with embers and ash swirling within the chaos of a close-by wildfire … spurred by what meteorologists are calling one among L.A.’s worst windstorms within the final decade.
A police SWAT armored car and a bus have been introduced in to whisk senior residents away from the Eaton Hearth — the second main wildfire to hit L.A. County up to now 24 hours.
The blaze ignited round 6 PM Tuesday and shortly swallowed greater than 400 acres of brush inside simply two hours.
Pasadena Hearth Division crews mentioned the relentless winds are making the flames behave erratically, spreading at breakneck pace — identical to the Pacific Palisades hearth that kickstarted earlier the identical day.
A excessive wind advisory is about to remain in impact till 6 PM Wednesday.
