Southern California Wildfires

Fueled by fierce Santa Ana winds, a pair of fast-spreading wildfires in Southern California consumed dozens of square miles, killed one person, destroyed 150 structures and forced thousands to flee their homes Tuesday morning.
Officials ordered thousands to get out of Ventura, California, overnight Monday as the so-called Thomas fire grew out of control. Homes were burned, one person died and some 500 firefighters battled the aggressive conflagration. Crews were forced to wait until daybreak to start fighting the fire through the air with the help of planes and helicopters.
