Evacuation orders and warnings remained in effect in LA and Ventura counties after a nearly 5,000-acre fire erupted near Lake Piru. Several evacuation orders and warnings are in effect in LA and Ventura counties.

The fire is burning just south of Lake Piru, a reservoir located in the Los Padres National Forest. It’s close by Lake Castaic, a popular recreation area burned by the Hughes Fire in January. That fire burned about 15 square miles in six hours and put 50,000 people under evacuation orders or warnings.
