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 the area, aided by helicopters. The Santa Ana winds, which fueled the fire, are expected to ease, but warnings remain in some regions. Power has been shut off to nearly 70,000 customers in five counties due to fire risks. The area has a history of destructive wildfires, including the 2018 Woolsey Fire and the 2017 Thomas Fire, both linked to electrical infrastructure issues.
