At least 28 people have died as multiple wildfires, fueled by severe drought conditions and strong winds, rage across Southern California.
Thousands of firefighters have been battling wildfires across 45 square miles of densely populated Los Angeles County. The two largest fires, the Palisades Fire in Pacific Palisades and the Eaton Fire near Pasadena, remain active. One of the latest, the Hughes Fire in the Castaic area, has prompted evacuation orders for tens of thousands of people.
Hughes blaze expands to 10,000 acres within hours
The rapidly spreading brush fire that ignited late Wednesday near Castaic Lake grew to 10,176 acres by early Thursday, according to local officials.
Firefighters battling the blaze in the brush north of Santa Clarita and Valencia had it about 14% contained on Thursday morning, according to Angeles National Forest officials.
The fire, about 45 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, erupted around 11 a.m. on Wednesday, prompting mandatory evacuation orders and evacuation warning for about 50,000 people, officials said.

Politically speaking Newsom cannot escape dry fire hydrants. He's cooked and he knows it. Sorry Gov you cannot blame global climate change.
