The Hughes Fire has erupted north of Los Angeles, expanding rapidly over 41 square kilometers and prompting evacuation orders for more than 31,000 residents. An additional 20,000 people are under evacuation warnings as the fire poses a significant danger, especially given the ongoing high winds. This blaze follows devastating impacts from earlier fires, the Eaton and Palisades fires, which have destroyed over 15,000 buildings and claimed at least 28 lives. Climate change is considered a contributing factor to the increasing frequency and intensity of such wildfires.
Thousands of residents were ordered to evacuate in Southern California as the Hughes Fire erupted, exacerbating concerns already stemming from the ongoing Eaton and Palisades fires.
The Hughes Fire has rapidly spread over 41 square kilometers, forcing evacuations for over 31,000 residents while additional warnings affect another 20,000.
