PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. (KABC) -- A 200-acre brush fire erupted Tuesday morning in Pacific Palisades, threatening structures and prompting an evacuation order as a powerful windstorm battered the region.
The quick-moving fire was reported shortly before 10:30 a.m. in the 1100 block of North Piedra Morada Drive, just north of the Palisades Hills Recreation Center, sending a massive plume of smoke rose above the Santa Monica Mountains.
"The Palisades Fire is burning near Palisades Drive," the Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement from NotifyLA alert system. "Those nearby should get set for a potential wildfire evacuation by gathering supplies and loved ones."
A massive contingent of Los Angeles city and county firefighting resources were deployed to the scene, including helicopters and Super Scoopers.
In a statement released at 11:13 a.m., Pepperdine University noted that fire officials predicted the fire had the potential to spread to as many as 200 acres "in the next 20 minutes as the winds push it from the northeast toward the Pacific Ocean. The fire is not presently a threat to the Malibu campus, though smoke from the fire is visible from campus."

Darn, that's a really nice area ... or at least it was 30 years ago.

People fleeing the fire are abandoning their cars on the roadways, making it impossible for fire trucks to get through.
