Wildfires Force 50,000 Evacuations North of Los Angeles

Firefighters mounted a rapid assault on the blaze, which charred 15 square miles in hours, amid ongoing battles with deadlier fires that have claimed 28 lives. With red flag warnings lingering, the crisis underscores California's relentless wildfire threat.
