An arrests has been made in a raging Southern California wildfire that authorities suspect was started by an arsonist and remained out-of-control on Monday, fueled by drought-parched trees and brush that have not burned in about 75 years, authorities said on Monday.
The so-called Palisades Fire in the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles County nearly doubled in size overnight to 1,325 acres and was 0% contained, according to fire officials. At least 1,000 people are under mandatory evacuation.
