The Palisades fire grew to 21,596 acres overnight, with evacuations expanding rapidly in Encino, Tarzana and Brentwood as flames threatened homes in Mandeville Canyon. Six helicopters flew throughout the night, dropping water on the blaze as it entered its 5th day Saturday. Containment grew from 8% to 11% overnight, according to Cal Fire.

The Palisades Fire, already one of the most destructive natural disasters in the history of Los Angeles, made a significant and sharp turn toward one of the city’s major population centers late Friday night.
