A new wildfire that broke out north of Los Angeles on Wednesday quickly spread to more than 400 square feet (38 square meters) due to strong winds and dry vegetation. Authorities ordered the evacuation of more than 31,000 people.
Strong winds spread the fire over a large area, sending up a huge plume of black smoke near Castaic Lake, a popular recreation area. Authorities' biggest concern is the risk of the fire spreading to a nearby nuclear power plant.
Two deadly fires that have raged in Los Angeles since January 7 have been brought under control. The 57-square-metre Eaton fire, east of Los Angeles, is 91% contained, while the larger 95-square-metre Palisades fire in west Los Angeles is 68% contained.
