The Hughes fire, which ignited near the Lake Castaic area north of Los Angeles, is currently one-third contained thanks to the efforts of firefighters. Evacuation orders have been lifted for many residents. However, new wildfires have emerged in the San Diego area, prompting further evacuations. The forecast for rain this weekend may help alleviate the wildfire situation, coupled with weaker winds. In response to ongoing fire crises, California Governor Gavin Newsom has approved a substantial $2.5 billion aid package for wildfire recovery efforts.
Evacuation orders were lifted for tens of thousands of people as firefighters were able to slow the spread of a huge fire that erupted in mountains north of Los Angeles.
Authorities say that was one of the main reasons they were able to quickly contain so much of the Hughes fire in the Castaic area.
Crews made significant progress on Thursday in containing the fire. They say the Hughes fire is now about one-third contained.
California is set to spend $2.5 billion to help the Los Angeles area recover from all the wildfires, after Governor Gavin Newsom signed a relief package.
