Thousands of firefighters have been battling wildfires across 45 square miles of densely populated Los Angeles County. The two largest fires, the Palisades Fire in Pacific Palisades and the Eaton Fire near Pasadena, remain active. One of the latest, the Hughes Fire in the Castaic area, has prompted evacuation orders for tens of thousands of people.

Officials issued evacuation orders in and around the Castaic Lake area, predominantly covering state parkland. Evacuation warnings border Santa Clarita, one residential area closest to the growing fire.
