'We are not out of the woods yet': Southern California wildfire rises again in Santa Monica Mountains

Firstpost  

A massive plume rose suddenly at midmorning in the Santa Monica Mountains near the community of Lake Sherwood, prompting authorities to send numerous aircraft to drop fire retardant and water on the blaze. Forecasters had warned of ongoing fire danger because of persistent Santa Ana winds, the withering, dry gusts that sweep out of the interior toward the coast, pushing back moist ocean breezes. The fire has burned more than 80 percent of National Parks Service land in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Southern California Edison said last week that it reported to the California Public Utilities Commission “out of an abundance of caution” that there was an outage on an electrical circuit near where the fire started Thursday but there was no indication its equipment was involved in the fire reported two minutes after the outage.
