Production came to a halt in Los Angeles on Wednesday as fires continued to sweep across the neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and Sylmar.

FilmLA, the permitting agency for shoots in Los Angeles, issued a notification that “personnel resources ordinarily available to support film production may not be available during the local State of Emergency.”

“The LA County Fire Department has specifically instructed that all permits issued for filming in the communities of Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada/Flintridge and unincorporated Pasadena are withdrawn. Other permit revocations are possible,” the FilmLA statement said.

Though most soundstages are not directly in the fire area, the air quality is dangerous to health and residents are being asked not to be on the roads unnecessarily.

NBCUniversal said production has been suspended on “Hacks,” “Loot,” “Ted,” “Suits: L.A.” and “Happy’s Place” with Reba McEntire. No movies are affected as all of NBCU’s feature films are shooting outside of Los Angeles, according to a statement.

Amazon has postponed the re-start of production on season 2 of “Fallout,” which was filming in the Santa Clarita area. It has been tentatively rescheduled for Friday.

CBS Studios shut down “NCIS,” “NCIS: Origins,” “After Midnight,” “Poppa’s House” “The Neighborhood” and tapings for “After Midnight,” hosted by Taylor Tomlinson, for the remainder of the week due to fires.

At Disney-20th, production shut down on “Doctor Odyssey,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

The Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank was also closed due to the proximity to the fires, affecting production on “Abbott Elementary,” “All-American” and “The Pitt,” which would’ve been shooting today, as well as “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” and the Leanne Morgan project, which were in table-read and rehearsals.

More than 10,000 acres have burned in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu area since the fire started Tuesday morning, with hundreds of structures destroyed. Two people were found dead at the site of the Altadena fire, north of Pasadena, which has also burned more than 10,000 acres.

Additionally, numerous premieres and events around Los Angeles have been postponed or canceled, including the “Unstoppable” and “Wolf Man” premieres, the AFI Awards luncheon, the BAFTA Tea, and the Critics Choice Awards.
