A fast-moving wildfire erupted north of Los Angeles on Wednesday, scorching over 9,400 acres within hours. Driven by strong winds and dry vegetation, the Hughes Fire has prompted mandatory evacuations for more than 31,000 residents, with another 23,000 under evacuation warnings. Firefighters, already stretched thin by other major blazes in the region, are racing to contain the flames. Officials have issued red-flag warnings across Southern California due to extreme fire risks. The Angeles National Forest has also been closed to visitors as the situation unfolds.
