A new fast-moving wildfire has erupted in Los Angeles County, prompting tens of thousands to evacuate a region already reeling from the most destructive fires in its history.
The fire ignited about 45 miles northwest of the city of Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, near Castaic Lake in a mountainous area that borders several residential areas and schools.
The out-of-control blaze has grown to more than 9,400 acres in several hours fuelled by winds and dry brush that is acting as fuel.
No homes or businesses have been damaged, but about 31,000 residents have been forced to flee. END.
