As firefighters battle a fast-moving brush fire in the Pacific Palisades, a second inferno has broken out in nearby Pasadena.

The two fires are forcing more than 30,000 people from their homes. An estimated 200 acres are now ablaze in the Pasadena area as fighters battle the Eaton Fire. Eaton firefighters are moving evacuations along as the fire continues to progress.&nbsp;

Strong Santa Ana winds have grounded aerial firefighting planes, making them unable to fly and stunting aerial waterbombing efforts.
