A wind-driven wildfire in Southern California that's prompted thousands to evacuate has injured 10 people, destroyed 132 structures and damaged another 88 in less than two days of critical fire weather, officials said Thursday.
The big picture: California Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency in Ventura County Thursday due to the climate change-related Mountain Fire that's razed some 20,400 acres and was 5% contained Thursday evening. Several county schools will remain shut Friday and a red flag warning was in effect through 11am that day.
