Reported 8 months ago

A massive wildfire broke out in California on the 15th, quickly spreading due to dry weather, strong winds, and steep terrain, resulting in over 10,000 acres being burned with only 2% under control. Evacuations were ordered in areas like Gorman in Los Angeles County. The fire, dubbed 'Post Fire' by the LA County Fire Department, has burned over 14,000 acres in just a few days. The National Weather Service issued a red warning for areas in northwestern LA County and Ventura County. As the fire continues in Southern California, Hungry Valley Park evacuated 1200 campers due to the proximity of the wildfires, with firefighting efforts hindered by smoke and limited visibility.
