Currently, there are three major fires burning in the Pacific Palisades, Sylmar, and Altadena as strong winds continue.
The Santa Ana winds are expected to continue through Wednesday morning, and a red flag warning will remain in effect until Thursday afternoon. A high wind warning will remain in effect through Wednesday evening. According to ABC 7 Los Angeles, wind gusts could reach up to 80 mph during the early hours this morning.
