Firefighters are rescuing people from homes engulfed in flames as they battle a wildfire moving at a dangerously fast speed in a dense suburban neighborhood northwest of Los Angeles.
Roughly 50 miles south of the Mountain Fire in Ventura County, another brush fire on the highway in Malibu burned 50 acres before fire crews stopped its forward progress and contained it at 15%, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.
At least two people have been injured and several structures have been damaged or destroyed by the Mountain Fire, which rapidly expanded in size due to a combination of very dry air and powerful Santa Ana winds, prompting National Weather Service forecasters to issue a series of alerts and warnings earlier in the day.
It’s not yet clear how many structures are impacted because it’s too dangerous for damage inspection teams to be on the ground, according to Ventura County fire officials.
“The hair on the back of the firefighter’s neck I’m sure was standing up,” Ventura County Fire Captain Trevor Johnson said at a news conference while discussing one of the rescues on Wednesday. “This is a day where you’re truly prepared to do every part of your job and risk everything to save everything.”
The strong winds are allowing fire embers to travel with the smoke over a range of two and a half miles, as more than 14,000 people remain under evacuation orders, the fire department said.
Firefighters have conducted intense rescues under dangerous conditions, pulling people from houses and rescuing others from streets engulfed in flames, officials said.
The Storm Prediction Center has issued an “extremely critical” level 3 of 3 risk for fire weather conditions in parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties in Southern California.

The Bridge Fire in Southern California exponentially exploded over 10 times in size in a matter of 24 hours, as firefighters grappled with two other major fires in the region and a man was arrested in connection with setting off one of the infernos.
The Bridge Fire, which sparked Sunday in Angeles National Forest, exhibited “extreme fire behavior,” jumping in size from4,000 acres early Tuesday. The blaze expanded from Los Angeles County into San Bernardino County.
As of Wednesday morning, it is the largest wildfire in the state, spanning nearly 48,000 acres and is 0% contained.
In an update Wednesday afternoon, officials said 20 homes were destroyed in the Mount Baldy area, and 13 in the Wrightwood area, as well as six cabins in the wilderness. There have been no reports of significant injuries or deaths.
Evacuation orders have put in place for all residents north of the San Antonio Dam up to the Mount Baldy Resort, the community of Wrightwood, East Fork communities and the River Community, as well as others. Evacuation warnings are also in place.
The Bridge Fire is one of three major fires in southern California — along with the Line Fire and the Airport Fire — which sparked amid an intense heatwave that brought triple digit temperatures and dry conditions to the region.
Red flag warnings, meaning conditions are ripe for wildfire spread, are in place through noon Wednesday over the interior mountains and foothills of Los Angeles County for dry conditions with gusty southwest winds and low humidity.
The Airport Fire burning in Orange and Riverside Counties has destroyed homes, injured at least seven people and burned more than 22,000 acres as of Wednesday morning, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire.
The blaze exploded in size overnight Monday in Orange County's Trabuco Canyon as flames, spurred by west winds, traveled east into Riverside County. By Wednesday morning, the Airport Fire reached 22,376 acres and was 0% contained. Evacuation orders and warnings for thousands remain in place.
The fire's path continued onto Santiago Peak, threatening a series of radio and television broadcast towers, used not only by local media outlets but also by federal and local government agencies. The fire creeped up to the base of some of the towers, but the equipment appeared to escape any serious damage.
Just before 2 p.m. Tuesday, authorities expanded mandatory evacuation orders to include homes in Riverside County as the rapidly moving fire began to creep towards Lake Elsinore.
Several homes were destroyed by the massive flames, forcing thousands to remain under evacuation order.
Ortega Highway was closed between Grand Avenue and Nichols Institute. The area had been under a voluntary evacuation warning, but late Tuesday morning, mandatory evacuation orders were issued for areas along the highway near Caspers Park.
A mandatory evacuation order was previously issued for the Robinson Ranch community in Rancho Santa Margarita. Voluntary evacuation warnings were in place for residents on Rose Canyon Road, Trabuco Creek Road, Trabuco Canyon Road, Trabuco Oaks Drive, Joplin Loop and Cook's Corner.
Evacuation warnings were issued Tuesday for Silverado and Modjeska canyons.

More than two million acres are currently burning across the western United States, resulting in emergency declarations across the region. Those who do not have to evacuate are dealing with lost power, closed schools and canceled plans due to fires and excessive heat. Even a performance at the Hollywood Bowl has been called off.
As summer comes to a close in the Northern Hemisphere, the western US is burning, not just with fire but record high temperatures.
Line Fire east of San Bernardino, California: Cal Fire reports the Line Fire has burned 20,553 acres and is 3% contained. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department announced mandatory evacuation orders for about 4,800 homes in the Running Springs and Arrowbear Lake areas. Hundreds more have been evacuated in the cities of Highland, Forest Falls, Mountain Home Village and Angelus Oaks.
“There are currently 36,328 structures threatened, including single and multifamily homes, commercial buildings, and other minor structures,” Cal Fire said.
The 20,553-acre conflagration started Thursday, officials said. More than 1,800 fire personnel are battling the flames, which was 0% contained as of Monday, according to Cal Fire. The blaze has injured three people, though authorities have not released any details about the extent of injuries.
The American Red Cross has set up an evacuation shelter at a local church for residents seeking refuge from the fire.
Boyles Fire southwest of Clearlake, California: At least 30 structures have burned in a fire about 100 miles west of Sacramento. As of Monday morning, about 4,000 residents have been evacuated. Cal Fire reports the blaze has covered 76 acres and is 0% contained.
• Bridge Fire in Angeles National Forest north of Los Angeles: A fire inside the national forest has burned 820 acres and is 0% contained. Several roads in the park have been closed, forest officials said in a Facebook post. “High winds and low humidity are aiding the spread of the fire,” Cal Fire said.

A man accused of starting the Park Fire in California arrested. A raging wildfire in Northern California known as the Park fire has ballooned to more than 120,000 acres, quickly becoming the largest in the state so far this year, as scores more fires burning along the West Coast signaled an early start to what could be a devastating fire season.
The authorities said the fire, burning near the college town of Chico, north of Sacramento, is believed to have been sparked by a man accused of pushing a burning car into a gully Wednesday afternoon, sending it 60 feet down an embankment.
The man, Ronnie Dean Stout, a 42-year-old Chico resident, was arrested after witnesses said they saw him push the car down into the gully and then calmly leave the area, apparently trying to blend into a crowd of people fleeing the rapidly growing flames, according to the Butte County District Attorney’s Office.
The Park fire was one of scores burning in the western United States, creating smoky skies that reached all the way to the East Coast.
“Unfortunately, we’ve gotten off to a running start here in Northern California,” said Dan Collins, a fire captain and spokesman for the Cal Fire unit in Butte County. “We’re prepared to fight the fight.”
On Wednesday, after the Park fire began growing rapidly, local fire officials sent out a call for help. Mr. Collins said hundreds of firefighters were battling the blaze, with many more driving in from around the state. Aircraft were also being used to fight the fire.
As of Thursday afternoon, the fire was just 3 percent contained and had prompted evacuation orders in parts of Butte and Tehama Counties.
State fire officials said on Thursday morning that firefighters were focused on evacuations and protecting structures, while also using bulldozers and fire crews to build lines to contain the fire.
There were also 43 active wildfires in Oregon and Washington, covering more than one million acres, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. Many fires are exhibiting “extreme fire behavior,” the center said.
The Durkee fire in Oregon, near the border with Idaho, grew amid thunderstorms on Wednesday and is now the largest wildfire in the United States, covering more than 268,000 acres as of Thursday, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
More than 4,000 people in Oregon were under evacuation orders as of Thursday afternoon, according to the Oregon Department of Emergency Management. Air quality warnings were issued in parts of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, with health officials cautioning that the wildfires and strong winds could combine to raise pollutants to unhealthy levels.
Fire investigators have said some among a series of fires in Oregon that began in the early morning hours of July 11 are human-caused and “suspicious,” and have asked for the public’s help to investigate.
Oregon’s governor, Tina Kotek, said in a statement on Wednesday that fires in the eastern part of the state had “scaled up quickly.”
In California, officials did not offer a motive in the Park fire arson case, though they said at a news conference Thursday afternoon that it was a car belonging to the mother of Mr. Stout, the man under arrest, that started the fire.
Mr. Stout had previous criminal convictions that required him to register as a sex offender and for robbery with great bodily injury, according to the district attorney’s office. He was sentenced to state prison for 20 years in the robbery case, but was out by 2020, when he was arrested for driving under the influence, authorities said.
Mr. Stout was being held in a local jail without bail on suspicion of intentional arson and was scheduled to be arraigned on Monday. The district attorney said what charges would ultimately be filed would hinge on whether anyone is injured or killed in the fire.

The "Fork Fire" continued its rapid burn through the Angeles National Forest above Glendora this weekend, causing evacuations and road closures. The wildfire had consumed over 375 acres by Friday night, and as of Saturday morning, the burn area was sized at 330 acres with zero containment despite the efforts of firefighter crews. Two infants needed medical attention due to smoke inhalation as a fast-moving brush fire in Southern California spread 330 acres with 0% containment, officials said as of Saturday morning. The brush fire began in the San Gabriel Mountains in northern Los Angeles County near East Fork and Glendora Mountain roads after 3:00 p.m. local time, according to Angeles National Forest officials, who named the spreading blaze the Fork Fire. Evacuations have been ordered in the vicinity with a designated staging area provided in a parking lot with trail access to the Bridge to Nowhere. Additionally, a rescue by a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department helicopter was documented within the fire perimeter, though details on the operation have yet to be disclosed. Visibility of the fire's impact, including a significant smoke plume, was confirmed by an ALERT California fire-spotting camera on Pine Mountain. The South Coast Air Quality Management District responded by issuing an air quality advisory as the smoke billowed from the canyon. The cooperative efforts between the National Forest Service and local fire protection agencies, including CalFire, Los Angeles County Fire Department, and Ventura County Fire Department, are ongoing while the investigation into the fire’s origin continues.

Southern California firefighters are trying to get a grip on raging wildfires, with the fast-moving Lake Fire near Santa Barbara exploding to more than 13,000 acres with zero percent containment.
Evacuation orders have been issued to residents near the fire, which is threatening homes, including Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, officials said.
The Lake Fire began around 3:45 pm Saturday and charred more than 300 acres of land in the Los Padres National Forest in its first few hours.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office has issued evacuation orders for areas around Figueroa Mountain Road to the Forest Station to Chamberlin Ranch, as well as areas north of Zaca Lake Road, east of Foxen Canyon Road and south of the Sisquoc River, according to the Santa Barbara Independent.
Scott Safechuck, a Santa Barbara Fire Department spokesman, said temperatures had reached 90 degrees and relative humidity was nine percent in the fire area as of last night. Temps are expected to be high again today.
‘A large number of fire resources are on scene and responding to this rapidly developing wildfire. Firefighters are aggressively suppressing the fire. The communities and resources affected are a top priority,’ the federal government’s Incident Information System website read.
