The Kenneth Fire raging near Woodland Hills, on the south side of San Fernando Valley, has taken a troubling turn. Local authorities suspect arson and have detained a suspect as part of the ongoing investigation, according to Fox LA.
The fire, which started near the 101 Freeway, has grown to over 800 acres, forcing mandatory evacuations in multiple neighborhoods. The Los Angeles Fire Department has issued evacuation orders for areas including Vanowen Street to Burbank Boulevard and County Lane Road to East Valley Circle Boulevard. Surrounding neighborhoods are also on high alert as evacuation warnings have been extended.
Firefighters from Los Angeles and Ventura counties, aided by water-dropping aircraft, are working tirelessly to contain the blaze. The fire has spread rapidly due to challenging terrain, low vegetation, and fierce Santa Ana winds, posing a significant threat to nearby homes. By Thursday afternoon, the fire had even reached areas of Calabasas and West Hills, sparking further concerns.
This devastating fire serves as a grim reminder of the dangers posed by arson and the importance of emergency preparedness. As authorities investigate the cause, residents are urged to stay updated on evacuation notices and safety measures.
