California Wildfires: Post Fire in Los Angeles County Burns 14,625 Acres, Evacuations Ordered as Two Fires Rage On

Wildfires have been spreading across California since the weekend, with more than 15 fires burning over 20,000 acres in total. The largest of these fires is the Post Fire in Los Angeles County, which has consumed 14,625 acres and was only 8% contained as of Monday morning. The fire started near Gorman on Saturday afternoon and quickly spread due to hot winds and low humidity.

The Post Fire forced evacuations for over 1,200 people in the Hungry Valley Park and Pyramid Lake areas, where structures were also threatened. The Los Angeles County Fire Department, Ventura County Fire Department, U.S. Forest Service, and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection are all working to contain the blaze.

Another fire named Point Fire has been burning in Sonoma County since Sunday afternoon, destroying structures and forcing evacuation orders for some residents. The cause of both fires is still under investigation.

The National Weather Service issued a Red Flag warning for areas from Redding to Modesto due to the hot winds and low humidity, which could potentially fuel further fires. Areas in the North Bay hills, including Mt. St. Helena and Lake Berryessa, are also under red flag warnings.

Smoke advisories have been issued for parts of Los Angeles County due to the Post Fire, including the San Fernando Valley and west San Gabriel Valley areas.

Despite these challenges, firefighters remain committed to containing the fires and protecting affected communities. The causes of both fires are still under investigation.
