STORYLINE:
A new fire Thursday prompted the evacuation of California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo.
Water-dropping helicopters were dispatched to the small Laguna Fire that erupted in hills above the campus, where about 7,000 students are enrolled.
Though the region was under a red flag warning for critical fire risk through Friday, winds were not as strong as they had been when the Palisades and Eaton fires broke out, allowing for firefighting aircraft to dump tens of thousands of gallons of fire retardant.
About 50 miles (80 kilometers) to the northeast, the Hughes Fire broke out late Wednesday morning and in less than a day had charred nearly 16 square miles (41 square kilometers) of trees and brush near Castaic Lake, a popular recreation area about 40 miles (64 kilometers) from the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires that are burning for a third week.
There was no growth overnight and crews were jumping on flareups to keep the flames within containment lines, fire spokesperson Jeremy Ruiz said Thursday morning.
The fire remained at 14% containment. Over 50,000 people were under evacuation orders or warnings Wednesday.
Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials didn’t provide new information on evacuations Thursday. There were no reports of homes or other structures burned.
