A fire broke out Tuesday night in the hills above Altadena near Eaton Canyon, prompting a response from firefighters.
The Eaton fire has burned more than 200 acres and prompted evacuations in the area west of the Eaton Canyon Golf Course, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
Officials 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.
Pasadena spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said the blaze broke out in the foothills above Altadena around 6:28 p.m., adding that she did not know the exact location of its origin.
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, please take all necessary items with you to be prepared to leave for an extended period of time.”
The fire comes amid intense winds that sparked a destructive fire in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday.
Fire officials say the winds are expected to intensify overnight.
