Topanga State Park and Will Rogers State Historic Park were closed as a precaution shortly after the Palisades Fire began Tuesday morning. State Parks was able to evacuate the horses and some of the cultural and historical artifacts ahead of the fire, the release says. California State Parks says the fire rolled onto its property later that evening, resulting in more than 30 structural losses. Rogers, who died in a plane crash in 1935, was one of the most popular and highest-paid actors in Hollywood in the mid-1930s, according to the release. His widow donated the ranch to State Parks in 1944 and it became a historic park.
