The massive Pacific Palisades fire spread northeast on Saturday and is now threatening multi-million dollar homes in Brentwood.
More than 12,000 structures have been destroyed in the Los Angeles fires this week after Democrats like Governor Newsom and LA Mayor Karen bass slashed fire department funding by millions of dollars.
At least five people have died in the Pacific Palisades fire.
Gusty Santa Ana winds and dry fire hydrants are making it nearly impossible for firefighters to contain the fires.
Mandatory evacuations were underway after a wall of flames quickly moved toward Brentwood on Saturday morning.
Firetrucks were parked in a Brentwood neighborhood preparing to fight the fast-moving blaze.

CBS News reported:
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, which survived a fire in 2019, was in one of the evacuation warning zones.
“Getty Center is complying with the current evacuation order and it’s closed with only emergency staff on site,” the museum said in a statement.
The Getty Villa closed when the Palisades Fire first started on Tuesday.
“Fortunately, Getty had made extensive efforts to clear brush from the surrounding area as part of its fire mitigation efforts throughout the year,” J. Paul Getty Trust President Katherine Fleming said about the Getty Villa. “Additional fire prevention measures in place at the Villa include water storage on-site.”
