Evacuations ordered as a wildfire rages in northern Los Angeles County

A wildfire raging in northern Los Angeles County swelled to more than 5,200 acres in less than a day Wednesday into Thursday, leading to mandatory evacuation orders for residents as the area endured dangerously high temperatures. CNN reported.

The heatwave is the latest in a string of extreme heat events gripping the American west in recent months. Temperatures in the Golden state were expected to hit 115F (46C) in the coming days across some southern parts of the state, Sacramento and the San Joaquin Valley, according to the National Weather Service. The Guardian reports.

The 5 Freeway had to be shut down Wednesday as crews worked to fight the massive fire. The Freeway was reopened in both directions Thursday morning but the northbound side was reduced to one lane again around 8 a.m.
