After killing at least five people, the Palisades Fire continued to burn east toward the 405 Freeway and San Fernando Valley, prompting more evacuation orders and warnings in Brentwood and Encino.The Getty Center,

On Thursday, Jan. 9, a Super Scooper firefighting plane was grounded after it collided with a drone illegally flying over the Palisades fire area. The aircraft, which can drop 1,600 gallons of water at a time and replenish its supply in five minutes, will likely be out of use for the remainder of the Palisades fire.

The massive Palisades fire has destroyed an estimated 75% of the Pacific Palisades and officials say the 1/3rd of the eastern edge of Malibu has also been destroyed. The fire is now threatening the nearby communities of Brentwood and Encino.
