Two other fires have erupted in Los Angeles County: The 500-acre strong Hurst fire north of San Fernando, and the Eaton fire in Altadena, which has grown to 1,000 acres in a matter of hours.
• No containment expected: There is no possibility of containing the Los Angeles fires tonight, and firefighters are focusing on saving lives instead, said David Acuna, the CAL Fire spokesperson.
• Firefighter warnings: Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt.
The Los Angeles Fire Department is also asking off-duty members to call in to help battle the blaze.
• Schools close: Five schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District will close on Wednesday, and classes are moving online.
