Firefighters Battle Hughes Fire North Of Los Angeles

1 week ago Firefighters are battling to maintain the upper hand on a huge and rapidly moving wildfire that swept through rugged mountains north of Los Angeles. A fire spokesperson says the blaze didn't grow much overnight. Aerial water drops are helping in that fight, even as dangerous winds whipped up again Thursday. Meanwhile, about 50 miles to the southwest in Ventura County, a new fire prompted the evacuation of California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo. The National Weather Service says gusty weather is expected to last into Friday and that rain is possible starting Saturday.
