A fire broke out Tuesday night in the hills above Altadena near Eaton Canyon, prompting a response from firefighters.

Officials also told people living on these streets to evacuate immediately: Kinneloa Cyn Road, Outpost Lane, Glen Springs, Cooledge, Miranda, Roosevelt, Vernada, Kenclare and areas east of Altadena Drive.

Pasadena spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said broke out in the foothills around 6:28 p.m., she said, adding that she did not know the exact location.
