The National Weather Service issued a critical fire weather alert for Los Angeles County on Monday.

A fire in the Pacific Palisades – which began burning about six miles from UCLA on Tuesday morning – has since reached more than 2,900 acres, but it does not pose a risk to campus at this time, said UCLA Office of Emergency Management spokesperson Seán Devine.
