\"405<\/p>\n

A new wildfire in Los Angeles near the Getty Museum has prompted officials to shut down the 405 freeway completely and evacuate areas of Bel Air in which homes are already burning.<\/p>\n

The L.A. Times reports<\/a>: \u201cThe fire was estimated to cover some 50 acres by 6:20 a.m., but Los Angeles fire officials said it was being fueled by 25 mph winds and would likely grow even more.\u00a0 News videos<\/a> show multiple homes are burning. The Los Angeles Police Department has ordered the evacuation of homes along Casiano Road, Moraga Drive and Linda Flora Drive. Residents of Mandeville Canyon and Sullivan Canyon should be prepared for evacuation the department said.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, wildfires continue to ravage Ventura County<\/a>: \u201cThe blaze has consumed 50,500 acres on its journey to the ocean. The 101 remains open, but authorities warned drivers to be cautious traveling through the area. Thousands of homes were still threatened by flames, 27,000 people were forced to flee, a firefighter was injured and Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency, as some 1,100 personnel continued to battle the blaze. At least 150 structures \u2014 including one large apartment complex and the\u00a0Vista\u00a0Del Mar\u00a0Hospital, a psychiatric facility \u2014 were consumed by flames. But Cal Fire suspects the true number is hundreds more; firefighters just haven\u2019t been able to get into areas to know for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
