A fire broke out near 1: 30, next to the 405 highway on Getty Center Drive, near the Getty Center Museum. The fire was called Getty Fire. By noon on Monday, fire spread to an area of 618 acres (250 ha).
On Monday evening, October 28, authorities said that the good news was that the area of fire did not increase in size and the fire was localized at 5%.
“The fire is not spreading thanks to the intensive work of the teams of firefighters who are now there,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
At the moment, more than 1100 firefighters are struggling with Getty Fire.
Police blocked the south side of the 101 highway to Sunset Boulevard, as well as all the exits on the north side between Sunset Boulevard and Mulholland Drive, so people would not be affected by the fire.
