Southern California wildfire destroys 132 structures as winds forecast to ease
A wildfire in Southern California has destroyed 132 structures, primarily homes, in less than two days. The fire, which started in Ventura County, has grown to about 32 square miles with only 5% containment. Ten people have been injured, mostly from smoke inhalation. Evacuation orders remain for about 10,000 residents as the fire threatens 3,500 structures. Firefighters are focusing on protecting homes in hilly areas near Santa Paula. The Santa Ana winds, which contributed to the fire's rapid spread, are expected to ease but may return next week. Power has been shut off to nearly 70,000 customers in five counties due to fire risks. Several school districts in Ventura County have closed, and officials are monitoring the situation closely as the fire continues to pose a threat.
