The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on Thursday announced that some of the Palisades Fire's evacuation zones were reopened to residents.

-West of Sepulveda Blvd, Valley Meadow Place, Royal Oak Rd

-North of Getty Center Dr, Mount Saint Marys Fire Rd, N Bundy Dr

-South of North Kenter Ave, Sky Lane, Travis St, North Tigertail Rd

All other road closures and evacuations for the Palisades Fire remained in effect.

Residents are required to show proof of residency to enter the areas, the Sheriff's Department said. Acceptable documents include a recent utility bill, mortgage documents, property deed, or any other similar proof of ownership or residency.

Resident access will be through the intersections of Mulholland Highway/Old Topanga Canyon Road, Civic Center Way/Malibu Canyon Road, and Mulholland Drive/Topanga Canyon Road.

"Please ensure you have both your government-issued ID and one of these additional documents to facilitate a smooth re-entry process," the Sheriff's Department said in a statement. "For your safety, please drive carefully. Emergency crews are still working in the area. Stay alert, follow all traffic regulations, and proceed with caution."

Most other evacuation orders are expected to remain in place for at least another week, authorities said at a Thursday morning news conference.
