A new wildfire, dubbed the Sunset Fire, erupted near Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills on the evening of January 8, forcing mandatory evacuations in the surrounding areas. The fire has rapidly consumed over 10 acres, with its path threatening nearby homes. Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley confirmed the blaze, which is moving north of Hollywood Boulevard, east of Laurel Canyon, and west of the 101 freeway. As the Sunset Fire ignites fresh fears, the city continues to battle the devastating Palisades fire, which has already destroyed 15,000 acres.
