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, Veranada Avenue, Kinclair Drive, Fox Ridge Drive, Canyon Close Road, Grand Oaks Avenue and areas east of Altadena Drive.
