An evacuation order that had been in place for Hollywood due to the threat of the Sunset Fire was lifted on Thursday morning, according to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

Mayor Bass announced that the evacuation order was lifted as of Thursday morning, citing improved conditions that allowed for air operations to make significant progress in Hollywood and Studio City the previous night.

She emphasized the cooperation of Angelenos and the unity of the community in responding to the evacuation order. Mayor Bass urged residents to continue to exercise caution despite the lifting of the evacuation order.

The Sunset Fire had posed a significant threat to Hollywood, prompting the evacuation order to ensure the safety of residents in the area. However, with the improved weather conditions and successful air operations, the fire threat has subsided, allowing for the evacuation order to be lifted.

Residents are advised to remain vigilant and stay informed about any updates regarding the fire situation in the area. The swift response and cooperation of the community were instrumental in ensuring the safety of all residents during this challenging time.
