Mandatory evacuation orders remain in effect Sunday for residents in the Topanga area as firefighters continue to battle a 1,325-acre brush fire near Pacific Palisades.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause, saying it may be suspicious.
One person was detained and released and a second person was being questioned Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The Palisades Fire was 0% contained as of Sunday evening. The blaze nearly doubled in size, from 750 acres Saturday to 1,325, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The weather remained cool and moist overnight, which created favorable conditions for fire crews. However, conditions were expected to change as the vegetation in the area is very dry and has not burned in more than 50 years, according to the LAFD spokesperson David Ortiz.

Nearly every phase of California’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout has been met with a mixture of enthusiasm and angst. But few groups have been as eager or as concerned as the latest to wrestle with the availability of vaccines: parents.
The state on Thursday expanded eligibility for COVID-19 vaccines to adolescents from the ages of 12 to 15. In Los Angeles and many other counties, people in that age group must be accompanied by or receive consent from a parent or guardian to receive their shot.
Some parents are jumping at the chance to protect their kids from COVID-19, and from its rare but worrisome counterpart, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C. Downtown L.A. resident Ginny Brideau has already secured an appointment for her 12-year-old daughter, Iolani, to be vaccinated at Ralphs on Monday.

It was Freedom Summer 2020, and the frontlines of protests mirrored the front row of concerts. Vibrant mural banners with the names of martyrs and the words BLACK LIVES MATTER could be seen everywhere, while dancers moved with the grace of butterflies as they marched through the streets.
Despite being a civil rights lawyer, the first invite I received to protest that summer was as a drummer. The Youth Justice Coalition reached out and to me to lead a drum troupe during their youth-led march in Los Angeles. I proudly accepted and loaded up the bucket drums from my non-profit Project Knucklehead in my car.
