The Sunset fire, which quickly grew to 50 acres, was burning out of control near Runyon Canyon, creating significant panic in densely populated Los Angeles.
Mandatory evacuations were set up for a wealthy area bordered by iconic names like Mulholland Drive and Hollywood Boulevard, underlining the fire's potential threat to cultural landmarks.
With the Hollywood Bowl and Dolby Theater inside the evacuation zone, the fire raised alarms for residents accustomed to thinking that wildfires only affect hillside areas.
The Hollywood Hills' narrow roads and complex navigation posed additional challenges for emergency evacuations, reminiscent of previous fire threats in the region.
