A brush fire north of Los Angeles has quickly grown to more than 11 square miles even as calmer weather has allowed crews to increase containment on multiple wildfires elsewhere in the state. Ventura County emergency officials provided an update around 11:30 p.m. yesterday that said the fast-moving fire had spread to approximately 7,400 acres, with 0% containment. The fire erupted yesterday evening itself, quickly spreading from a hilltop near Santa Paula. Authorities have ordered evacuations for around 7,500 people in an area that includes roughly 1,800 buildings.
