| Progress on Hughes fire but new wild fires start |
| 2025-01-24 |
| LOS ANGELES (AP); Evacuation orders were lifted Thursday for tens of thousands as firefighters with air support slowed the spread of a huge wildfire churning through rugged mountains north of Los Angeles [the 10,000 acre Hughes Wildfire], but new blazes erupted in San Diego County, briefly triggering more evacuations. Two new blazes were reported Thursday in the San Diego area. Evacuations were ordered but were later lifted after a brush fire erupted in the late afternoon in the wealthy enclave of La Jolla near the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine. Further south, near the U.S.-Mexico border, another blaze was quickly spreading through the Otay Mountain Wilderness, home to the endangered Quino checkerspot butterfly and other unique species. In Ventura County, a new fire briefly prompted the evacuation of California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo. Water-dropping helicopters made quick progress against the Laguna Fire that erupted in hills above the campus of about 7,000 students. The evacuation order was later downgraded to a warning. ---------------------- Rain is forecast beginning Saturday pm. That will help a lot even if it is only light rain. Now, the mudslides start |
