The Eaton fire, burning over 400 acres near Eaton Canyon, has led to mandatory evacuations in parts of Altadena and Pasadena, California. Strong winds have hampered firefighting efforts.
A fire broke out Tuesday night on the hills above Altadena, near Eaton Canyon, prompting a response from firefighters. The Eaton fire has burned more than 400 acres and has led to evacuations in the area west of the Eaton Canyon golf course, according to the US Forest Service.
Authorities also told people living on these streets to evacuate immediately: Kinneloa Canyon Road, Outpost Lane, Glen Springs Road, Coolidge Avenue, Roosevelt Avenue, Veranada Avenue, Kinclair Drive, Fox Ridge Drive, Canyon Close Road, Grand Oaks Avenue and areas east of Altadena Drive, north of New York Drive and west of Sierra Madre Villa Avenue. Pasadena ordered mandatory evacuations 'for the area north of New York Drive, east of Altadena Drive and west of Sierra Madre Villa Avenue. If you are in the evacuation area, take with you all necessary items to be prepared to leave for an extended period of time'. Pasadena spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said that authorities want residents in the path of the Eaton Canyon fire to heed the warnings. 'We're not playing here,' she said. 'This is serious'. She said that strong winds have led officials to suspend aerial coverage, leaving firefighters on the ground to protect homes and save lives. Firefighters were trying to evacuate several people from a convalescent home near Washington Boulevard and Altadena Drive. Derderian said the strong winds and intensity of the fire are reminiscent of the fires of the 1990s, including the 1993 Kinneloa fire, which destroyed 196 buildings in Altadena. Residents who were within three miles of the Eaton Canyon fire could see orange flames and smell the fire from inside their homes
