LOS ANGELES - A massive flare-up of the Palisades Fire erupted Friday night, forcing a new round of mandatory evacuations and shutting down major roads in the area

Around 7 p.m. Friday, a new flare-up on the northeastern edge of the fire broke out, forcing evacuations in the Mandeville Canyon and Encino areas. The flames also forced the closure of the 405 Freeway at Sepulveda Boulevard near Bel-Air and Westwood.

Home owners on any slant as well as those at the bottom of the hills are in trouble because of coming mudslides.

Repairs and proper landscaping cannot be done fast enough & environmental cultists/elites will stop their own neighbors to prevent rebuilding.

All that is even before some dEmocrat donor calls in favors with those in charge to make sure single family units cannot be built in the name of making living space equitable.

Then those that escape their land being legally stolen via the government will have to battle with paper shufflers.

Care to say who wins that battle of wills?

Not happy. Not sad. Troubled because the majority of those who are losing/have lost homes and property will only blame others not themselves for putting those in power in the first place.

Troubled. Troubled because so many will not learn.

Foxla says freeway is still open, though it's being reported that the freeway is closed or closing soon.

Sunset, Getty Center and Skirball offramps are closed.

I remember some guy running into my back tire at Topanga and Mulholland in 1991. He went under my bumper and jolted the truck.

I got out and said “WTH”. He apologised and was of Korean lineage I think. It really didn’t do any damage to me but his hood was buckled.

I left.

They’ve got the weekend to contain this before the winds kick up again. Amazing work by the copters but they can only do so much.

Thank you for additional updates.

There are 10-12 helicopters that have been doing water drops and they are slowing down the spread of the fire, but it's still slowly moving, so the evac areas are going to keep changing.

I use to live in l.a., and still know people there, so this fire is concerning.

There is a bunch of things the Authorities are not telling the public about these fires because it would make them look more foolish than they already are.

Who or what started the fires, IMO, nature didn’t start the fires, people did, either homeless living in the woods started the fires for warmth, cooking food, or to provide some type of light after dark or the fires are the act of terrorists or arsonists who are just evil.

The other thing given the response is they are not going to be able to contain the fires without Mother Nature and that doesn’t look like it will happen anytime soon, the fires will burn until they burn themselves out and reach the Pacific Ocean.

Encino and Brentwood

As another said, these fires are burning to ashes the very neighborhoods of L.A. that are basically the Democrats' ATM machine.

It's not like Compton or Inglewood are up in flames.

Considering how Coordinated these mass looters are, I am suspecting it to be Gangs who started them. These guys are taking everything they can sell quick back to South America, while Joe is President. If they did this 2 weeks later, Trump would have hunted them all down.

Rich Pedowood bastards probably have a lot of easy to move expensive jewels and probably gold.

You could right, but it would further show how incompetent LA and State Leaders really are.

Why did it take days for the National Guard to be called out.

Why wasn’t Law Enforcement out in force to stop the looters.

The looters have all probably been arrested dozens of times and let loose because of the laws in California.

The multiple water dropping helicopters with relatively calm winds is barely slowing down the fire.

With the winds picking up over the next few days, depending on the wind direction, it potentially could blow and spread embers into the valley, maybe as far north as up to the ventura frwy.

The whole south end of the vally could be involved.

Yup. Fire rushes up hill, mud slides down at the next rain with all the ground cover burned away. We need some rain to help with the fires but it’s not in the immediate forecast. But when it comes, it still won’t be pretty.

At one of the press conferences, which were all unity, sucking up to each other, we're all in this together, etc. an LAPD representative said they had not had any reports of looters....

Then when the LA county sheriffs went up to talk, he began talking about their plans for curfew to stop the looting that was going on....

Multiple L.A. big wig politicians aren't going to be able to pass the buck, and are going to get fired or have to resign by the time this is over.
