Evacuation orders were issued and part of a major interstate was closed after a fast-moving wildfire ignited Wednesday in Southern California.
The Hughes Fire erupted after two nearby blazes left at least 27 people dead and engulfed thousands of homes in the Los Angeles area earlier this month.
The latest fire was reported Wednesday at 10:53 a.m. near Castaic, a community in northern Los Angeles County, and had scorched more than 5,000 acres hours later, according to fire officials.
