On January 7, amid life-threatening winds across Los Angeles, multiple wildfires broke out in the Pacific Palisades, which later spread to Malibu, and Eaton Canyon, near Altadena. The Palisades fire has rapidly grown to nearly 3000 acres as of 7:30 p.m.
Officials have declared a mandatory evacuation order that begins at the northern border of Santa Monica and stretches to Topanga Canyon and Mulholland Boulevard. ABC News estimates that 30,000 people are under evacuation homes, and 10,000 homes are at risk . The fire has since spread to Malibu, destroying longtime restaurants and bars in its path, including Reel Inn, Cholada Thai, and Rosenthal Wine Bar.
The Eaton Canyon fire was first reported around 6:30 p.m. , but officials have already declared mandatory evacuations across Altadena and the surrounding neighborhoods.
On the evening of January 7, Mayor Karen Bass declared a state of emergency for Los Angeles in response to the multiple fires. Both of these regions are populated by a number of restaurants. As Eater confirms fire-related closures and impacted restaurants, this list will be updated.
