As people in Los Angeles and surrounding towns evacuate their homes and deal with the impact of multiple wildfires, several Hollywood productions are being put on pause.

Beginning Tuesday morning, several TV productions were hatled in an effort to keep people safe and out of impacted areas. It’s unclear how long the pauses in production will last at the moment, and whether they will impact release schedules.

A full list of paused productions is below:
