npr.org — November 8, 2024 at 06:01 AM UTC

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 working to protect homes in hilly areas near Santa Paula. The Santa Ana winds, which fueled the fire's rapid spread, are expected to ease but may return next week. Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in Ventura County. Power has been shut off to nearly 70,000 customers in five counties due to the fire risk. Schools in the area are closed as officials monitor the situation.
