In California, a rapidly spreading wildfire known as the Mountain Fire has prompted the evacuation of 14,000 residents as it threatens 3,500 homes near Camarillo, about 80 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles. Fueled by fierce winds reaching up to 130 km/h, the fire has devastated dozens of houses, with the exact extent of damage still to be determined. Governor Gavin Newsom has requested assistance from the national disaster relief service as firefighters employ helicopters to combat the blaze, which has expanded to over 40 square kilometers in just a few hours.
