Rapidly growing fire prompts thousands of evacuations in California

A rapidly spreading wildfire dubbed the Canyon Fire has prompted evacuations for thousands of residents northwest of Los Angeles, growing from 30 acres to nearly 5,400 acres within 24 hours. Firefighters have achieved 28% containment as of Friday evening, allowing some evacuation orders to be reduced to warnings despite the challenging conditions of extreme heat and dryness. About 400 firefighters continue to battle the blaze, which is spreading eastward toward Castaic in Los Angeles County, while a firefighter suffered major injuries when their truck rolled down a steep hillside.
