The Palisades Fire is burning dangerously close to the Getty Villa Museum Tuesday as it continues to grow, forcing roughly 30,000 people to evacuate more than 10,000 homes . The fire, which has spread to vegetation surround the building, has not threatened the the Getty Villa structure itself, according to J. Paul Getty Trust President Katherine Fleming. "Museum galleries and library archives were sealed off from smoke by state-of-the-art air handling systems," Fleming told CBS New Los Angeles.
