Fire photographer Rick McClure shared some photos from the Palisades Fire, which started earlier this month in a canyon community in Los Angeles and prompted the evacuation of nearly 1,000 people.

A suspect has been arrested in connection with the fire, according to news reports. The fire near Topanga State Park, which was deemed incendiary in nature, burned more than 1,200 acres and led to one firefighter being injured. No homes were destroyed or civilians injured, according to a report from the City of Los Angeles (CA) Fire Department.
