The Canyon fire has scorched roughly 4,856 acres near Val Verde, straddling Los Angeles and Ventura counties, according to Watch Duty. In addition to the evacuation orders, officials also issued less-severe evacuation warnings for parts of the area.

Fire officials say the blaze is threatening power lines as well as the communities of Hasley Canyon and Hathaway Ranch.

Firefighters have reached 25% containment against the fast-moving Canyon fire, which exploded to nearly 5,000 acres late Thursday, forcing thousands to evacuate.
