Rapidly growing fire prompts thousands of evacuations in California

A rapidly growing wildfire in California has prompted thousands of evacuations. The Canyon Fire, which started on Thursday afternoon, has already burned through nearly 5,000 acres in less than 24 hours. The fire is currently out of control and has forced the evacuation of numerous communities in the area. Firefighters are working to contain the blaze, but the dry and windy conditions are making it difficult to control the fire's spread. No injuries have been reported so far, but the fire has caused significant damage to homes and other structures. Authorities are urging residents to follow evacuation orders and to remain vigilant as the situation continues to unfold.
