Several people were burned and at least one firefighter was reported injured.

More than 10,360 homes were threatened by the Palisades fire, officials said at an afternoon news conference. Broadcast and social media videos showed houses fully engulfed in flames. Air tankers and water-dropping helicopters made drops as firefighters from the across the region rushed to the scene.

Multiple burn victims were reported at Duke’s Malibu and Big Rock Beach Cafe around 9 p.m., Los Angeles Fire Department officials said. They reportedly had burns on their hands and faces, said LAFD spokesman Adam VanGerpen, and medical units were sent to evaluate and treat them.
