ABC7 has received multiple calls from residents concerned that this is a new fire, but it is actually the Palisades Fire.
Parts of Encino are currently under a mandatory evacuation order.
A new mandatory evacuation order has been issued for the Palisades Fire for an area from Sunset Boulevard to Encino Reservoir, and from the 405 Freeway west to Mandeville Canyon. That area was previously under an evacuation warning.
Parts of Brentwood, Encino and the Getty Center are in the area of the evacuation zone, according to an LAFD map.
The fire is burning toward the 405 Freeway and the main area of concern is Mandeville Canyon where there are large homes, LAFD Capt. Erik Scott told Eyewitness News.
Emergency evacuation centers have opened amid the Palisades Fire flare up at the following locations:
Van Nuys Sherman Oaks Rec Center, 14201 Huston Street in Sherman Oaks

The rumor that Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley was fired is false, according to Mayor Karen Bass' office. Chief Crowley also did not quit.
LAFD issued the following statement, "On Friday, January 10th, Fire Chief Kristin Crowley of the Los Angeles City Fire Department met with Mayor Karen Bass. Their foremost priorities continue to be fighting the current wildfires and safeguarding Angelenos. It is important to note that the Fire Chief was not dismissed and is in full command of the LAFD."
The Mayor's office also sent out a similar statement Friday afternoon after the rumor started circulating, confirming that the Mayor and the Chief had met. The Mayor's office confirmed to ABC7 that the rumor was false.
