Los Angeles Fire LIVE: New Massive Wildfire Breaks Out in Southern California Amid Strong Winds
A new fast-moving wildfire broke out in southern California’s Ventura County on Monday (January 13), sending firefighters and first responders to battle the massive blaze amid strong winds.
The fire, dubbed by local media as the “Auto Fire”, was first reported at around 7:45 p.m. (0345 GMT January 14) in the Santa Clara River bottom near North Ventura Boulevard and Auto Center Drive, according to the Ventura County Fire Department (VCFD). The fire burnt an area of 5 acres while approximately 75 firefighters were on scene battling the raging fire, a social media post by the VCFD said.
Aerial images from local media showed the blaze burning against a backdrop of lights from the county. At 0530 GMT, the fire measured approximately 1,033 feet (308 metres) from Victoria Avenue, a major road in the area, fueled by Santa Ana wind gusts.
A red flag warning was in effect late on Monday as dry, dangerous Santa Ana winds picked up speed. Gusts could hit 75 mph (120 kph) starting at around 4 a.m. Tuesday (1200 GMT), said a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center.
