A wildfire exploded in size Wednesday in northern Los Angeles County, forcing the evacuation of Northlake Hills Elementary School in the town of Castaic, California. Students were quickly loaded onto buses as dark smoke filled the sky above. Called the Hughes Fire, the blaze comes on the heels of two of the most destructive wildfires on record in California, the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire.
