Another brush fire, the Riverview fire, burned about 1 acre of land before firefighters halted its forward progress, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.<\/p>\n<p>The Lilac fire set off evacuations in Bonsall, a small community in northern San Diego County. The San Diego County Sheriff&rsquo;s Department issued evacuation orders for nearby areas around 1:33 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>Firefighters stopped the forward progress of the Pala fire, which burned in a mountainous area about 45 miles north of San Diego. It initially prompted evacuation orders, but those orders have since been lifted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Two hours north in Los Angeles, firefighters continue to put out the fires that devastated entire neighborhoods in the city. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fire.ca.gov\/incidents\/2025\/1\/7\/palisades-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Palisades fire<\/a>, which has burned 23,713 acres, is 61% contained, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fire.ca.gov\/incidents\/2025\/1\/7\/eaton-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Eaton fire<\/a>, which burned 14,021 acres, is 87% contained as of Tuesday night, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A wildfire briefly broke out near the Griffith Observatory on Monday, but firefighters put it out before it damaged nearby structures.<\/p>\n<p>At least 27 people have died in the Los Angeles wildfires. About 41,000 people remained under an evacuation order or warning in Los Angeles County on Saturday. At least 10,000 homes have been destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Strong winds and extremely dry air, both of which elevate the fire risk, are expected to continue Tuesday. According to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">wind gusts reached notable heights<\/a> across Southern California on Monday evening, with 77 mph winds being recorded at Sill Hill in the San Diego County Mountains and 74 mph winds at Magic Mountain in Angeles National Forest.<\/p>\n<p>The Storm Prediction Center declared two &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-to-know-about-malibus-franklin-fire\/\" title=\"What to know about Malibu&#039;s Franklin fire\">extremely critical&#038;rdquo<\/a>; fire zones, which is the highest alert level, for Tuesday. The first is for many areas of the San Gabriel Mountains, extending west toward the Santa Monica Mountains and the Santa Susana Mountains, including the Malibu coast. The second is for portions of the eastern San Diego foothills, and the western San Jacinto Mountains are included in this warning.<\/p>\n<p>Across Southern California, more than 3 million people are under an &ldquo;extremely critical&rdquo; fire threat. More than 10 million people face a critical fire threat, which is categorized as level 2 of 3.<\/p>\n<p>Gov.
