A new fire — the Kenneth Fire — erupted Thursday afternoon, so far spreading across 1,000 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection says that blaze is 35% contained.

Meanwhile, a new brush fire ignited in the Woodland Hills neighborhood in northern Los Angeles, immediately prompting mandatory evacuation orders.

Tens of thousands of people were forced to flee their homes as a deadly brush fire in the Pacific Palisades grew to more than 20,000 acres this week and destroyed thousands of structures.

Firefighters are making progress slowing the major fires in the Los Angeles area that have killed five people, ravaged communities from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena and caused thousands of people to flee their homes.
