The latest wildfire to hit Los Angeles County early Friday is known as Crown fire. It has affected some parts of Leona Valley, Ritter Ranch, Anaverde and Palmdale. Fire officials said that the fire has burned more than 5,000 acres. Hundreds of firefighters were trying to control the blaze and nearly 2000 residences had undergone “mandatory evacuations”.
Earlier this week, firefighters battled two wildfires that hit Southern California. The first fire known as the Bull Fire, hit the southeast part of Tehachapi. Authorities confirmed that the Bull Fire is now 12 percent contained and destroyed more than 16,000 acres. The second fire was in the northern part of Tehachapi in Sequoia National Forest and is known as the West Fire. It burned and destroyed 25 homes.
Spokeswoman Michelle Puckett of the U.S. Bureau of Land warned residents to keep their cars and house windows closed to prevent smoke inhalation
