Production of the second season of the Amazon series Fallout, along with numerous other shows, has been delayed by the massive wildfires in LA County.
Deadline had reported that work on the series was slated to resume on January 8, but Film LA (via GameSpot) says the LA County Fire Department has withdrawn all permits for filming in Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada/Flintridge and Unincorporated Pasadena, and warned that permits in other areas could also be revoked.
CNN says the Palisades Fire has now grown to more than 17,000 acres, «with zero containment,» while the Eaton Fire has surpassed 10,000 acres.
At least five people have been killed, and nearly 2,000 homes, businesses, and other structures have been destroyed. Other, significantly smaller but still largely uncontained fires are also burning, and roughly 130,000 people are under evacuation orders or warnings.
Some game studios in the area have closed their offices and told employees to stay home in order to facilitate evacuation and help keep streets clear for emergency vehicles. «Employee safety and well-being is our top priority,» an Activision spokesperson told PC Gamer on Wednesday morning. «We're actively monitoring the situation as it is quickly evolving.
