Canyon Fire Triggers Mass Evacuations Near Ventura-L.A.

News summary

The Canyon Fire ignited Thursday afternoon near Lake Piru, straddling the Ventura-Los Angeles county line during a major heat wave, and rapidly expanded from 30 to over 1,000 acres within hours. Reported around 1:30–2:00 p.m., the fire prompted evacuation orders and warnings for thousands of residents in Ventura and Los Angeles counties as it spread east toward Lake Castaic and Santa Clarita. Multiple air tankers and helicopters joined ground crews in fighting the blaze, which remained at zero percent containment late Thursday. Authorities closed recreation areas and roads, including Piru Canyon Road and Lake Piru Recreation Area, and urged residents—particularly those with special needs, pets, or livestock—to evacuate promptly. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors issued an emergency proclamation to mobilize state and local resources. The cause of the fire remains under investigation as officials continue efforts to protect lives and infrastructure.
