Rapidly Spreading California Wildfire Forces Mass Evacuations
A fast-growing wildfire, known as the ‘Mountain Fire,’ near Camarillo, California, has prompted the evacuation of thousands of residents as it expands rapidly due to strong Santa Ana winds and dry conditions. Firefighters are battling the blaze, which has burned over 80 square kilometers, destroying dozens of homes and putting 350 more at risk. California Governor Gavin Newsom has visited the area and requested immediate aid from FEMA. As power cuts affect 70,000 homes to prevent further fire risks, the situation remains critical but may improve with expected wind changes.
