California Wildfires

Los Angeles Mountain Wildfire Forces Evacuations

The Hughes fire has rapidly spread in a mountainous area near Castaic Lake, fueled by strong winds. The fire has grown to over 5,000 acres in just two hours, with flames racing along hilltops and down into canyons. The fire has forced the evacuation of approximately 19,000 people, with warnings of an "immediate threat to life" issued. Off-ramps along Interstate 5 were closed as crews battled the blaze. The fire has been particularly aggressive, with aircraft and ground crews working to prevent it from spreading towards more populated areas.
