Fast-moving blaze in picturesque California county damages 15 structures and prompts evacuations
MONO COUNTY, Calif. (AP) — A fast-moving wildfire in a picturesque California county along the Nevada state border has damaged 15 structures, prompted evacuations and forced the closure of part of a highway on Thursday as firefighters worked to contain it in the face of strong winds.
Hours after the wind-whipped Pack fire ignited in Mono County on Thursday afternoon, damaging homes, a storm rolled in, bringing with it much needed precipitation.
A new wildfire was reported today at 9:19 a.m. in Riverside County, California. Old Elsinore Rd Perr Fire has been burning on private land. There is no information on the containment of the fire and its cause has not yet been determined.
A fast-moving wildfire raged across thousands of acres of California prairie near the Nevada border on Friday, while Los Angeles was in the throes of back-to-back storms that could trigger flooding and mudslides in areas scarred by January's devastating wildfires.
