Major brush fires burning in SoCal amid powerful windstorm

The Los Angeles Unified School District is temporarily relocating Palisades Elementary School and Marquez Elementary School students to Brentwood Elementary Science Magnet, a spokesperson told Eyewitness News.

Paul Revere Middle School students will be relocated to University High School Charter.

The spokesperson said all schools that are impacted will be communicating directly with families.

"We are continuously evaluating the situation and will make changes as necessary."

A brush fire in Pacific Palisades has grown to 200 acres and is forcing residents in the area to leave their homes.

The Los Angeles Fire Department issued a mandatory evacuation order for the area between Piedra Morada Drive and Pacific Coast Highway.

President Joe Biden's scheduled remarks from the Coachella Valley on the designation of two new monuments were canceled due to weather issues, the White House announced.

"Due to weather issues, the President will not travel to Thermal, CA. The previously scheduled remarks will be delivered in Los Angeles, CA," the White House said in a statement.

Biden traveled to Southern California to announce the establishment of two new national monuments that will honor Native American tribes, including the Chuckwalla National Monument near Joshua Tree National Park.

A brush fire erupted in the West Hollywood area but was quickly extinguished.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the fire erupted in the 8400 block of Sunset Boulevard.

Sunset Boulevard between San Vicente and Crescent Heights was closed as crews worked to contain the fire. The roadway has since reopened.

It's unclear what caused the fire. No injuries were reported.
