The Palisades fire grew to 22,660 acres by Saturday morning, with evacuations expanding rapidly in Encino, Tarzana and Brentwood since Friday night as flames lit up ridge lines and threatened homes in Mandeville Canyon. Six helicopters flew throughout the night, dropping water from the Encino reservoir on the blaze as it entered its 5th day Saturday. Containment grew from 8% to 11% overnight, according to Cal Fire. But despite the aerial firefighting and 100 engines surging into the Mandeville Canyon area, the flames spread by approximately 1,000 acres overnight, said Cal Fire’s Todd Hopkins.

Tens of thousands of people are now under evacuation orders or warnings. Firefighters make a stand in front of the Palisades Fire in Mandeville Canyon Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025, in Los Angeles.
