As of 8:30 p.m. local time, the blaze, dubbed the Sunset Fire, consumed at least 50 acres and remains 0% contained, according to Cal Fire. Mandatory evacuations were issued for Laurel Canyon Boulevard on the west to Mulholland Drive on the north to 101 Freeway on the east down to Hollywood Boulevard on the south.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A fast-moving fire broke out in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday night, threatening one of Los Angeles’ most iconic spots as firefighters battled to get under control three other major blazes that killed five people, put 130,000 people under evacuation orders and ravaged communities from the Pacific Coast to inland Pasadena.

But just a few hours later, the sun was blotted out by black skies as L.A. County Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone broke the news that two people were killed in what's being called the Eaton Fire, which was ravaging the Angeles National Forest and Altadena area of Los Angeles County and Pasadena.
