Firefighters Contain 25% of 5,300-Acre Canyon Fire California, Crews Fight Multiple Smaller Fires New Mexico, Oregon

Firefighters in Southern California have made significant progress in containing the Canyon fire, which began near Lake Piru and has spread into Los Angeles County, burning about 5,300 acres. Approximately 400 personnel from Ventura and Los Angeles County fire departments are involved, with about 25% containment achieved, aided by cooler temperatures and increased humidity. Thousands of residents remain under evacuation orders or warnings, with some structures already destroyed near Hasley Canyon. In northern New Mexico, crews are battling two small lightning-caused fires, the Tuas Fire and the Hondo Fire, which have burned six and seven acres respectively. Meanwhile, in Oregon, firefighting crews are responding to a 1.5-acre timber fire near Burnt Mountain Access Road, with no homes or structures currently threatened. These multiple wildfire incidents highlight ongoing fire risks across the western United States.
