Speaking to Newsweek, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) confirmed the fire, reported at 12:13 a.m. Wednesday east of 405 Freeway near Getty Center Drive, has a “moderate rate of spread, with no containment factor,” at the moment.

There are “no structures imminently threatened, no injuries, no calls for evacuations at this time,” the spokesperson confirmed to Newsweek.

Nearly 200 members of the LAFD were reported to be battling “an estimated 30 acres of burning grass and brush in an old burn scar upon a west facing slope of the Sepulveda Pass, entirely on the east side of the San Diego (I-405) Freeway,” the LAFD confirmed in a statement. The blaze, known as the “Sepulveda Fire” has a potential size of more than 40 acres.

“The heel of the fire is on Sepulveda Boulevard at Getty Center Drive, with the fire moving slowly eastward, the fire’s flanks emanating to the north and south from there. The weather conditions are currently hot and dry with minimal wind,” the statement adds.

The California Highway Patrol confirmed the off-ramp to the Getty Center Drive has been shut down.

Images and videos of the fire have been shared by various users on Twitter describing the scene.

“The santa monica mountains on the westside of los angeles are on fire again. sepulveda & getty center drive. it apparently started as a trash fire. heads up to bel air & brentwood residents, or people who see this who can let friends & family in the area know to stay alert,” wrote @runawaykat.

“I drove to the top of Casiano Road— which saw homes lost in the Bel Air Fire— and some residents have already started packing up their cars and others are sizing up how close the fire is,” wrote user @johnschreiber.

“The glow of the fire can be seen from the top of Casiano Road but is still a few ridges away from here. Plenty of worried residents keeping an eye on it though,” @johnschreiber added.

Last year another brush fire, dubbed the Getty Fire, sparked near the Getty Center, igniting on the west side of the 405 Freeway. The fire saw the evacuation of around 40,000 residents across the state.

“Welp, here we go again LA. It’s been only seven months since last year’s Getty fire. Hot, dry and windy all day and into tonight. Fire season takes no breaks, not even for a pandemic or civil uprising,” wrote @jservantez.

“What makes this particular spot so dangerous is the large amount of fuel for the fire to consume. The Getty Fire had this exact problem…” wrote @gothic_lamp.
