New Fire Takes Off in California: “Not a Good Place”
A new fire has broken out near Castaiac, California, reports the LA Times. 19,000 people have been ordered to evacuate.
The alarm comes as the state struggles to recover from the devastating fires that raged there in the first month of the year.
The new fire, named Hughes, has not yet caused any major material damage or claimed any lives. However, it may be a matter of time, according to climate expert Daniel Swain at UCLA.
“This is not a good place to have a fire with a northeasterly wind. There is an almost unbroken and very dense supply of fuel in that direction.
