Los Angeles County is currently being ravaged by fires with new ones popping up randomly. One of the latest wildfires, the Hughes Fire, has necessitated evacuations as it burns through more than 10,000 acres.

CAL FIRE initially revealed on X, formerly Twitter, that the Los Angeles County fire has affected 3,407 acres in the Castaic area. Evacuations had begun with the department working with the federal and local partners.
They were "using pre-positioned resources on the initial attack of this fire." However, in its 11: 36 a.m. website update on Wednesday, CAL FIRE revealed that the Hughes Fires had affected the Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, 10,176 acres, with 14% of the blaze contained.
