Several houses in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, burned down this morning due to large-scale forest fires that are closer to the freeway 405. Highway completely blocked in the area between the 101 and 10 freeways.

In addition, you must immediately evacuate the residents of the houses along Casiano, Moraga Drive and Linda Flora Drive.
In Barrington Recreation center operates the evacuation.
According to representatives of the fire Department of Los Angeles, they still do not know how many houses destroyed or damaged. Because of the strong wind and poor visibility from the fire it is impossible to localize the fire. «We are still trying just to contain him,» said captain Cody Weireter.
The school district Santa Monica Malibu Unified closed all schools. The school district Los Angeles Unified campuses are closed: Roscomare Road Elementary, Community Magnet Elementary Charter School, and Kenter Canyon Elementary School.
