| [CNN] Thousands of Southern California residents were under evacuation orders Wednesday as fire crews battled the out-of-control Hughes Fire near the town of Castaic, a suburb in the foothills and mountains of northern Los Angeles County. As of 5 p.m., the fire impacting both Los Angeles and Ventura counties had burned more than 9,400 acres and was 0% contained, according to Los Angeles County Fire Department Chief Anthony Marrone. No structures have been reported damaged or destroyed, Maronne said at a Wednesday evening news conference. "We have over 4,000 firefighting personnel assigned to the incident," Marrone said, noting the "robust" ground and air response to the fire. The National Weather Service extended a red flag warning through Friday morning for most of Los Angeles and Ventura counties as moderate Santa Ana winds continue to move through the area, Marrone added. -------------- fire started on 22 January; already about as big as DFW airport |

| #7 The use of DFW was my call. It was because the acreage is just about the same. LAX is about 3500 acres. DFW is about 9000 acres which is what the fire covered at the time. DIA is about 33000 acres. Maybe I should've said, about 3x the area of LAX |

| #4 Determined arsonists, working for a seasonal bonus. Maybe they get a percentage of the Fed dollars. Could just be a white powder bonus. |
