    A rapidly spreading wildfire erupted Wednesday evening in the Hollywood Hills, sparking widespread evacuations and raising concerns about worsening fire conditions across Southern California. Dubbed the Sunset Fire, the blaze has consumed approximately 20 acres in the Runyon Canyon area and continues to threaten homes and landmarks.


    Hollywood Hills Fire Map and Evacuation Zone

    Mandatory evacuations have been issued for residents within the following boundaries:

    • West: Laurel Canyon Boulevard
    • North: Mulholland Drive
    • East: 101 Freeway
    • South: Hollywood Boulevard

    The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) is urging residents to leave the area immediately as flames spread rapidly uphill, fueled by strong winds. A detailed Hollywood Hills fire map is available at CAL FIRE.

    Temporary shelters have been established, with Hollywood High School at 1521 Highland Avenue currently housing evacuees.

    The Sunset Fire broke out around 5:30 p.m. near Solar Drive, between Runyon Canyon and Wattles Park. By 6:30 p.m., the blaze had grown to 20 acres, accompanied by a dense plume of smoke drifting south toward Hollywood.

    There are dozens of homes and very thick fuel surrounding this area, and reporter Chris Cristi says this is “blowing up before our eyes.”

    Kristin M. Crowley, the city’s fire chief, warned during a press conference that the strong winds in the area could send embers far beyond the fire’s perimeter, further increasing the risk to nearby neighborhoods.


    Multiple Fires Ravage Los Angeles County

    The Hollywood Hills fire is just one of several wildfires currently burning across Los Angeles County amid a powerful windstorm. Other significant fires include:

    • Palisades Fire: Now the largest January wildfire in California history, it has consumed over 15,800 acres and destroyed more than 1,000 structures.
    • Eaton Fire: Burning near Altadena and Pasadena, this fire has scorched 10,600 acres and claimed five lives.
    • Hurst Fire: Located in Sylmar, this fire has reached over 500 acres.

    Collectively, these fires have displaced more than 100,000 residents and resulted in devastating losses.

    Hollywood Hills Evacuation Efforts

    Evacuation alerts for the Hollywood Hills fire were sent out at 6:14 p.m., with residents near Runyon Canyon quickly evacuating as traffic snarled in the area. Sirens blared, and helicopters deployed water drops over the flames to contain the blaze.

    The affected area includes prominent landmarks such as the Hollywood Bowl and the TCL Chinese Theatre. LAFD has reported challenges with water availability in fighting the fire, a recurring issue across the county due to high demand on infrastructure.

    Red Flag Warnings Persist

    Red flag warnings remain in effect for Los Angeles County through Thursday evening. Winds, which previously reached up to 100 mph, have slightly subsided but remain strong enough to fan flames and hinder containment efforts.

    Meteorologists have warned of another round of high winds expected Thursday afternoon, with gusts potentially reaching 70 mph in mountainous regions.


    Ongoing Firefighting Efforts

    Firefighters are working around the clock to contain the Sunset Fire, deploying water-dropping helicopters and ground crews despite challenging conditions. Poor water pressure and high demand on the city’s water infrastructure have posed additional obstacles.

    We’re prepared to do anything and everything, as long as it takes, to contain the Southern California fires and help reconstruct. But we know it'll be a hell of a long way.

    Although some progress has been made, the fire remains uncontained. Fire officials urge residents to stay informed, as the situation could change rapidly.
