Roughly 31,000 people were ordered to flee an area north of Los Angeles on Wednesday after a fast-moving wildfire exploded, growing to more than 9,000 acres within hours, officials said.
Another 23,000 people were under evacuation warnings after the Hughes Fire erupted at 10:53 a.m. Wednesday near Castaic Lake in northern Los Angeles County, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna told reporters.
Fueled by dry, windy conditions, the blaze had scorched more than 9,400 acres by Wednesday evening, Los Angeles County Fire Department Chief Anthony Marrone said at a news conference.
