三个快速增长南加州野火在不到一周的时间里燃烧了超过100，000英亩，并继续威胁着多个社区的家园，因为该州动员了所有人在甲板上响应，以支持前线消防队员与熊熊大火战斗。
近6000名国民警卫队成员、执法人员和其他第一反应人员被派往前线。此外，一个由51架消防直升机、9架固定翼飞机(包括两架国民警卫队的C-130飞机)、520辆消防车、75辆推土机和141辆水车组成的中队正在试图控制火势，其中两架在周三失控。
据加州林业和消防部门称，最大的火灾是周日在洛杉矶市中心以东约31英里的洛杉矶国家森林公园燃起的大桥大火，大火在一夜之间从周二的约4000英亩扩大到周三早上的近48，000英亩。
火势在蔓延到洛杉矶和圣贝纳迪诺县后仍未得到控制，控制率为0%，摧毁了高山滑雪胜地，那里出现了缆车着火的图像。官员们说，大火还威胁着莱特伍德和巴尔迪山的小山区社区。
根据Cal Fire的说法，莱特伍德和巴尔迪山至少有33所房屋被毁，该地区另有2500座建筑受到火灾威胁。
起火原因仍在调查中。
在周三的新闻发布会上，洛杉矶县警长罗伯特·卢纳说，包括一名休班警长在内的三人被困在洛杉矶县巴尔迪山以西约5英里的桥梁大火中。卢娜说，救援工作正在进行中，这些人无法进入道路，需要空运出偏远地区。卢娜说，该地区的浓烟阻碍了直升机接近被困人员，洛杉矶县消防局正试图开车接近他们。
“这只是一场噩梦，”坎迪斯·蕾丝告诉美国广播公司新闻，她是埃尔西诺湖的一名房主，该镇正受到桥梁大火的威胁。“我的女朋友失去了她的房子，我不得不打电话给她，告诉她她正在失去她的房子。我可以看到它着火了。”
据加州消防称，截至周三上午，大桥大火已吞噬了47，904英亩土地，并引发了大量疏散命令和警告。
莱特伍德的居民斯蒂芬妮·贝克告诉美国广播公司新闻，她从未见过大火像大桥大火那样迅速蔓延。
“我们真的连思考的时间都没有，”贝克谈到撤离火区时说。"把所有东西都扔进车里，然后就走了."
线火
圣贝纳迪诺县警察局周二逮捕了一名与自9月5日以来肆虐洛杉矶东部地区的线火有关的男子。
司法部门在一份声明中说，来自加利福尼亚州诺科的34岁男子贾斯汀·韦恩·霍尔斯滕贝格(Justin Wayne Halstenberg)被确定为“在高地市Baseline Road和Alpin Street地区放火的嫌疑人，也被称为Line Fire”。
官员们说，霍尔斯滕伯格因涉嫌纵火被拘留，保释金为8万美元。
据加州消防称，截至周三，线路火灾已烧毁34，659英亩，14%得到控制。根据最新的更新，这场蔓延的大火威胁着超过65，600座建筑，包括住宅和商业地产。
Cal Fire表示，当局对13，300座建筑发出了疏散命令，另有52，300座建筑处于疏散警告下。
没有任何建筑被确认损坏或摧毁。消防官员说，三名消防员在控制火势的努力中受伤。
Cal Fire在一份声明中说:“今天，风力增强和持续干燥的条件将使火势蔓延。”“整个地区火灾产生的烟雾将有助于缓解火灾，除非天空晴朗，烟雾变薄。这将允许更多的斜坡和植被匹配运行。”
3100多名消防人员正在与大火搏斗。
加文·纽瑟姆州长周二晚上请求联邦紧急事务管理局提供援助，“以确保重要资源，抑制桥梁和机场火灾。”
机场
据加州消防称，机场火灾于周一在奥兰治县的一个未合并地区爆发，并蔓延至河滨县，截至周三已燃烧了22，376英亩，一夜之间增加了3，348英亩。火势被控制了0%。
Cal Fire表示，这场大火威胁到10，500座建筑，包括住宅和企业，迄今为止已造成5名消防员和2名平民受伤。
官员告诉美国广播公司洛杉矶站KABC站，机场火灾始于太平洋时间周二下午1点左右，由县公共工程人员引发，他们正在进行一项防火项目，试图移动巨石，以防止公众(主要是摩托车手)进入峡谷的一个区域，该区域有许多干燥的植被，很容易着火。
在周二下午的新闻发布会上，官员们表示，由于火势向南蔓延到埃尔西诺湖和鸽子峡谷等社区，圣玛格丽塔牧场罗宾逊牧场的1400户家庭被迫疏散。
根据州长纽瑟姆周二发布的一份声明，周三共有16场活跃的野火在加利福尼亚州肆虐，烧毁了613，819英亩。
纽瑟姆说，到目前为止，这个火灾季节，加州已经爆发了6045场野火，吞噬了90多万英亩土地。
3 massive Los Angeles-area wildfires have scorched more than 100,000 acres in a week
Three rapidly growingSouthern California wildfireshave burned more than 100,000 acres in less than a week and continued to threaten homes in multiple communities as the state mobilized an all-hands-on-deck response to bolster front-line fire crews battling the raging flames.
Nearly 6,000 National Guard members, law enforcement officers and other first responders have been sent to the firelines. Additionally, a squadron of 51 firefighting helicopters, nine fixed-wing aircraft, including two National Guard C-130 airplanes, 520 fire engines, 75 bulldozers and 141 water tankers were being used in an attempt to tame the blazes, two of which were out of control Wednesday.
The biggest blaze is the Bridge Fire, which ignited Sunday in the Angeles National Forest about 31 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and exploded overnight from about 4,000 acres on Tuesday to nearly 48,000 acres by Wednesday morning, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The fire remained out of control with 0% containment after spreading across Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, destroying the Mountain High Ski Resort where images emerged of the chairlift going up in flames. The fire is also threatening the small mountain communities of Wrightwood and Mt. Baldy, officials said.
At least 33 homes in Wrightwood and Mt. Baldy have been destroyed and another 2,500 structures in the area are being threatened by the fire, according to Cal Fire.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
During a news conference Wednesday, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said three people, including an off-duty sheriff sergeant, were trapped by the Bridge Fire about 5 miles west of Mt. Baldy in Los Angeles County. Luna said efforts are underway to rescue the people, who are unable to access roads and need to be airlifted out of the remote area. Luna said heavy smoke in the area was preventing a helicopter from reaching the trapped people and the Los Angeles County Fire Department was attempting to get to them by vehicle.
"It's just a nightmare," Candace Lace, a homeowner in Lake Elsinore, a town being threatened by the Bridge Fire, told ABC News. "My girlfriend lost her home and I had to call her and tell her she's losing her home. I could see it on fire."
By Wednesday morning, the Bridge Fire had consumed 47,904 acres and prompted numerous evacuation orders and warnings, according to Cal Fire.
Stephanie Beck, a resident of Wrightwood, told ABC News that she has never seen a blaze move as quickly as the Bridge Fire.
"We really didn't even have time to think," Beck said of evacuating the fire zone. "It was just throw everything in the car and go."
The Line Fire
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department arrested a man Tuesday in connection with the Line Fire ravaging areas east of Los Angeles since Sept. 5.
Justin Wayne Halstenberg, a 34-year-old man from Norco, California, was identified "as the suspect who started a fire in the area of Baseline Road and Alpin Street in the city of Highland, also known as the Line Fire," the Sheriff's Department said in a statement.
Halstenberg was being held on suspicion of arson with his bail set at $80,000, officials said.
As of Wednesday, the Line Fire had burned 34,659 acres and was at 14% contained, according to Cal Fire. The sprawling fire is threatening more than 65,600 structures, including homes and commercial property, according to the latest update.
Authorities issued evacuation orders for 13,300 structures with another 52,300 under evacuation warnings, Cal Fire said.
No structures are confirmed damaged or destroyed. Three firefighters have been injured in the effort to contain the blaze, fire officials said.
"Today elevated winds and continued dry conditions will allow the fire to grow," Cal Fire said in a statement. "Smoke from fires across the region will help moderate fire activity unless the skies clear and the smoke thins. That would allow for more slope and vegetation aligned runs."
More than 3,100 firefighting personnel were battling the blaze.
Gov. Gavin Newsom requested Federal Emergency Management Agency aid Tuesday evening to "secure vital resources to suppress the Bridge and Airport fires."
The Airport
The Airport Fire -- which broke out on Monday in an unincorporated area of Orange County and spread to Riverside County -- had burned 22,376 acres as of Wednesday, growing by 3,348 acres overnight, according to Cal Fire. The blaze is 0% contained.
The blaze is threatening 10,500 structures, including homes and businesses, and has so far injured five firefighters and two civilians, Cal Fire said.
The Airport Fire began around 1 p.m. PT on Tuesday, sparked by county public works crews working on a fire prevention project by trying to move boulders to prevent public access -- mostly by motorcyclists -- to an area of the canyon with a lot of dry vegetation that could ignite easily, officials told ABC Los Angeles station KABC.
At a news conference Tuesday afternoon, officials said 1,400 homes in Robinson Ranch in Rancho Santa Margarita were under mandatory evacuation due to the fire moving south toward communities like Lake Elsinore and Dove Canyon.
A total of 16 active wildfires were scorching California on Wednesday and have burned 613,819 acres, according to a statement Gov. Newsom released Tuesday.
So far this fire season, 6,045 wildfires have erupted in California and consumed more than 900,000 acres, Newsom said.
