Evacuation Zones Announced for Hughes Fire – Details
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.
The Hughes Fires are one of the blazes that began on January 22, 2025. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) gave an update on its website on the progress of extinguishing the blaze and measures to evacuate.

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.

The I-5 NB at Lake Hughes Road off-ramp, Northbound I-5 all lanes closed just north of State Route 126, and I-5 Grapevine. The evacuation orders are put in place to avoid the "immediate threat to life." People are urged to evacuate immediately as the area has been closed to public access.
