LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — Drivers who've abandoned their vehicles while fleeing the Palisades Brush wildfire might find their cars a little worse for wear when they return. "Police Academy" actor Steve Guttenberg pleaded with his fellow Angelenos to leave keys in their car if they were to abandon it in the traffic jams near the Palisades Fire. Otherwise, firefighters may be hamstrung by gridlocked roads. Pacific Palisades evacuated as wildfire scorches 700 acres, destroys homes "What’s happening is people take their keys with them as if they’re in a parking lot. This is not a parking lot. We really need people to move their cars,” he told KTLA Tuesday afternoon. “If you leave your car behind, leave the key in there so a guy like me can move your car so that these fire trucks can get up there.” Multiple drivers did not take that advice, however, and officials used a massive bulldozer to push stopped cars to the side of the road on Palisades Drive and create a path for emergency vehicles. "If this is your car, unfortunately, it's an emergency situation, and this is what they have to do," KTLA's Gene Kang explained from the scene. Kang also confirmed that "yes, it is causing damage, as you can hear from the screeching noises." "But that is what they have to do," he added.
