Mountain Fire exploded to 10,457 acres


CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — California was lashed by powerful winds Wednesday that fed a fast-moving wildfire, which destroyed dozens of homes and forced thousands of residents to flee as forecasters warned of the potential for “extreme and life-threatening” blazes.

According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the Mountain Fire, located northwest of Los Angeles, exploded to 10,457 acres (16 square miles) in little more than five hours. The Fire threatened 3,500 structures in suburban communities, ranches, and agricultural areas around Camarillo, prompting evacuation orders for more than 10,000 people.

Two people suffered apparent smoke inhalation and were taken to hospitals, fire officials said. No firefighters reported significant injuries.
