A rapidly spreading blaze in California is impacting communities in the Los Angeles area as thousands have been placed under evacuation orders, officials said.

The fire has scorched an estimated 5,400 acres north of Los Angeles, but Ventura County officials said firefighters were making “good progress in suppressing the blaze.”

Firefighters have reached 28% containment on the 5,370-acre Canyon fire, allowing thousands of L.A. County residents to return to their homes Friday evening.
