Fire Trail Evacuations Ordered As Wildfire Rages In North Los Angeles County

As the fire grew, seven firefighters suffered heat injuries, the Los Angeles Fire Department said on social media. Five of them were hospitalized, he added. The blaze ignited as the region was in the grips of a heat wave. Officials urged Californians to reduce their electricity use during peak hours to avoid straining the power grid. “This is going to be the longest and most intense heat so far this calendar year,” Alexis Clouser of the National Weather Service in San Francisco told CNN. California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in response to the extreme heat wave. Temperatures have already risen on Thursday morning and are expected to hit triple digits across the region in an intense heatwave, according to the weather service. As of Thursday morning, the Route Fire had burned more than 5,200 acres and is 12 percent contained, according to the California Fire Watch website. I-5 remained closed in both directions, according to the state transportation department. I-5 is a major highway that runs from the Mexican border to Blaine, Washington State, on the Canadian border. Los Angeles County officials ordered the evacuation of areas north of Northlake Hills Elementary School, east of I-5 and west of Castaic Lagoon. The orders also applied to south of Templin Highway, which includes the Paradise Ranch Mobile Estate. It is unclear how many people are affected by the orders. Two Red Cross shelters were opened to accommodate the residents. Authorities have not released the cause of the fire as it remains under investigation. CNN’s Taylor Romine contributed to this report.
