California wildfire threatens homes as firefighters await wind relief

A wildfire northwest of Los Angeles, known as the Mountain Fire, has been raging for two days, destroying dozens of homes and threatening 3,500 structures. Over 10,000 residents are under evacuation orders as firefighters battle the blaze, which has zero containment. The fire has rapidly expanded from less than half a square mile to nearly 31 square miles. Officials expect winds to decrease, which may help firefighting efforts. A state of emergency has been declared in Ventura County. Utilities have shut off power to nearly 70,000 customers due to high fire danger. The fire is burning in areas previously affected by major wildfires, raising concerns about safety and infrastructure.
