MONO COUNTY, Calif. (AP) — A fast-moving wildfire in a picturesque California county along the Nevada state border has damaged 15 structures, prompted evacuations and forced the closure of part of a highway on Thursday as firefighters worked to contain it in the face of strong winds.

Hours after the wind-whipped Pack fire ignited in Mono County on Thursday afternoon, damaging homes, a storm rolled in, bringing with it much needed precipitation.

A new wildfire was reported today at 2:46 p.m. in Los Angeles County, California. The wildfire has been burning on private land. Currently, there is no data on the containment status of the fire and the cause has yet to be determined.

According to Cal Fire, the Pack Fire ignited Thursday at 12:25 p.m. Pacific and fire officials confirmed 28 structures were destroyed by the wildfire and five structures had been damaged by the wildfire.

Rainfall records were broken in locations across Southern California on Saturday, topping previous records dating back to the historic floods of 1952. Downtown Los Angeles and airports in Long Beach, Burbank, Santa Barbara, and Paso Robles all topped their highest rainfall for the day.

The fire is burning close to Highway 395, which is closed in the area, and McGee Creek Road. Evacuation orders remain in place in the region for McGee Creek and Long Valley. Other neighboring communities, including Crowley Lake and Aspen Springs, are under evacuation warning. Reports of damage to at least 15 structures surfaced Friday morning.

A storm is dropping rounds of heavy rain on more than 22 million people across Southern California on Saturday.

About 15 miles from Mammoth Mountain, California, a 3,000-acre wildfire that prompted evacuation orders and damaged structures has struck. The blaze, known as the Pack Fire, was spotted on Thursday and was fuelled by strong winds. Its cause is under investigation, according to Cal Fire.
