Officials reported significant overnight growth in a wind-driven wildfire in Southern California, prompting evacuations in Malibu, affecting thousands, including celebrities.
With over 1,500 firefighters on the scene, the rugged terrain and high winds coupled with low humidity create challenging conditions for fire containment.
Malibu Mayor Doug Stewart stated the weather conditions are improving, but officials warn that gusty winds may pose ongoing fire risks, keeping critical conditions prevalent.
The Santa Ana winds, known for their dry gusts, have complicated firefighting efforts, as they push back moist ocean breezes and contribute to fire spread.
