Thousands Ordered To Evacuate As Powerful Wildfires Spread In SoCal

2 weeks ago An out-of-control wildfire fueled by heavy winds is tearing through a community northwest of Los Angeles for a second day after destroying dozens of homes and forcing thousands of residents to flee. The Mountain Fire has prompted evacuation orders for more than 10,000 people as it threatens 3,500 structures in suburban communities, ranches and agricultural areas around Camarillo. The National Weather Service says a red flag warning indicating conditions for high fire danger will remain in effect until 6 p.m. Thursday. Officials in several Southern California counties have urged residents to be on watch for fast-spreading blazes, power outages and downed trees.
