Published in News & Features
LOS ANGELES — A fire broke out Tuesday night in the hills above Altadena near Eaton Canyon, prompting a response from firefighters.
The fire has burned more than 200 acres and prompted evacuations in the area west of the Eaton Canyon Golf Course, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
Officials also told people living on these streets to evacuate immediately: Kinneloa Canyon Road, Outpost Lane, Glen Springs Road, Coolidge Avenue, Miranda, Roosevelt Avenue, Vernada Avenue, Kinclare, Foxridge Canyon, Close, Grand Oaks and areas east of Altadena Drive.
Pasadena spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said the blaze broke out in the foothills around 6:28 p.m., adding that she did not know the exact location.
The fire comes amid intense winds that sparked a destructive fire in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday.
Fire officials say the winds are expected to intensify overnight.
