Some residents evacuated in the Palisades fire also were allowed to return home on Thursday afternoon. Their homes are in an area near the Encino Reservoir, bordered on the east by the 405 Freeway and Westridge Canyonback Wilderness and north of West Sunset Boulevard.

For the first time since the devastating Palisades fire ignited on Jan. 7, all Pacific Palisades residents can now return to their properties.
