The fires have led to our country’s largest evacuation since Hurricane Katrina. Among the prime time TV shows affected is 24 starring actor Kiefer Sutherland. The producers shut down production after cast and crew members were affected by smoke produced from these fires in California. The filming was then moved from a military base to the show’s soundstages.

The CBS TV show Cold Case and ABC’s new show Big Shots were two other programs affected by the fires in California. The sets for Cold Case were blown over by winds from these fires in southern California. The Big Shots TV show was filming in Malibu and had to be canceled as well. NCIS, another CBS prime time series was also filming near the fires in southern California. However, the filming continued for this TV show despite evidence of smoke from their soundstages. Some crew members working on the NCIS TV show had to leave to save their homes during the fires in southern California. The 7th Season of 24 is scheduled to air January 13, 2008.
