Most mandatory evacuation orders have been lifted in the Getty Fire, Los Angeles Fire Department officials announced Wednesday afternoon. The blaze has scorched 745 acres and was 39% contained as of Wednesday night.

Earlier Wednesday, residents evacuated during the Getty Fire were being allowed to visit their homes to collect medicine or other items left behind during the blaze.

Residents who wanted to visit their homes were asked to show valid ID with proof of where they live.

The flames spread quickly, destroying 12 homes and scorching Brentwood and surrounding areas. Another five homes were damaged.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Los Angeles Department of Water and Power equipment was not at fault and described the incident as an “act of God.”

The combination of powerful offshore winds and dry air is expected to bring "very high fire danger" to the region, according to the National Weather Service.
