After killing at least five people, the Palisades Fire continued to burn east toward the 405 Freeway and San Fernando Valley, prompting more evacuation orders and warnings in Brentwood and Encino.The Getty Center,

On Thursday, Jan. 9, a Super Scooper firefighting plane was grounded after it collided with a drone illegally flying over the Palisades fire area. The aircraft, which can drop 1,600 gallons of water at a time and replenish its supply in five minutes, will likely be out of use for the remainder of the Palisades fire.

Aircraft dropped water and fire retardant on steep hills to stem the eastward spread of the Palisades Fire. The LA county supervisor called it "another night of unimaginable terror and heartbreak."
