A wildfire in the forest, east of Los Angeles, has prompted the mandatory evacuation of an entire town in Southern California — one of several blazes threatening homes as the region swelters under a heat wave

Fire officials say evacuations were ordered Friday afternoon for the community of Forest Falls because of a quick-moving fire in the San Bernardino National Forest

The community, 75 miles (120 kilometers) east of Los Angeles, has more than 700 homes and about 1,000 residents

Elsewhere in California, a massive blaze northwest of Sacramento had destroyed nine homes, officials said

Firefighters had begun inspecting the fire zone, which covers an area nearly three times the size of San Francisco

The fire, spanning 140 square miles (360 square kilometers), was partially contained, but crews struggled in steep, rugged terrain

With the weather getting hotter and drier, and officials said the fire could grow

New fires sweep through sweltering Southern California - Duration: 6:30.

GOLETA, Calif. -- Firefighters battling wildfires that have torched hundreds of homes throughout the U

S. West hoped for some help from the weather Saturday even as new fires swept sweltering Southern California

A fire on the California-Oregon border that destroyed 40 buildings and claimed at least one life since Thursday remained virtually out of control, but a National Weather Service warning of extreme fire danger from heat and winds expired Friday

Farther south, a new wind-driven fire Friday night burned at least 20 homes and threatened hundreds more in the hills above Goleta in Santa Barbara County, authorities said

Evacuations were ordered as the fire edged into residential areas, and by late Friday night, it was about a mile from the downtown area, county fire Capt

Dave Zaniboni told KNX-AM radio. Authorities said the blaze started with a house fire and gusty winds reportedly were pushing the flames

CBS News correspondent Carter Evans reports that embers could be seen flying through the air

Winds blew them throughout the community of Goleta, and some of them landed on rooftops of homes

There is really nothing firefighters can do.High temperatures combined with dry brush created perfect conditions for a fire

Hot weather in the area was expected to continue Saturday, with some possible relief on Sunday

East of Los Angeles in the San Bernardino National Forest, authorities ordered the evacuation of the community of Forest Falls, which has about 700 homes, as a quick-moving wildfire swelled to 1,000 acres

In San Diego County, several fires erupted including one that burned at least five homes and perhaps many more in Alpine, in foothills not far from San Diego

Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for the county

At a Red Cross shelter, Ben Stanfill told the San Diego Union-Tribune that he and other relatives helped evacuate his mother's house, even though it wasn't in a mandatory evacuation area

"We just grabbed everything you can't replace or re-buy," Stanfill said

"My grandma's photographs, the cat, my sister's Mickey Mouse teddy bear she's had since she was little

" The fire was only 5 percent contained Friday night, but crews had virtually stopped its growth and were focusing on knocking down hotspots that continue to threatened houses and mobile homes, state fire officials said

Another fire on the Camp Pendleton Marine base prompted the evacuation of 750 homes

The new blazes came as Southern California saw many areas top 100 degrees Friday and more than a dozen areas got record-breaking temperatures for the day

It was 115 degrees in Woodland Hills and 112 in Burbank. In Los Angeles, it was 103

In the north, the fire in Siskyou County on the Oregon border had virtually emptied the tiny communities of Hilt and Hornbrook

Fire officials called for immediate evacuation of some Oregon areas near the community of Colestin

"We know we've lost homes and lots of structures, including livestock and horses as well," said Ray Haupt, chairman of the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors

The body of a resident was found Friday morning in the charred ruins of a Hornbrook home, but authorities were struggling to identify the body

"We don't even have an address because of the devastation around the area," Siskyou County sheriff's Lt

Jeremiah LaRue told the San Francisco Chronicle. No more deaths were expected

"We're actually pretty hopeful everyone got out," LaRue said. "We've been talking to people who evacuated, and no one's missing right now, so that's good

" Elsewhere in California, a massive blaze northwest of Sacramento that began June 30 had destroyed 10 homes and other buildings but was 42 percent contained, officials said

California was one of several Western states where recent wildfires have destroyed homes and forced thousands of people to evacuate

A Utah wildfire that burned 90 structures and forced evacuation of more than 1,100 people in a mountain area near a popular fishing reservoir was growing Friday, but fire officials hoped to increase containment soon

The blaze had burned about 75 square miles and was 4 percent surrounded

In Colorado, rain helped slow the growth of wildfires that burned dozens of homes

But the threat of a deluge raised the possibility of flooding in the area of a stubborn blaze in the southwestern corner of the state

Officials issued a flash flood watch for the 85-square-mile area burned by a fire that started June 1

They said it was just smoldering, and rain over the coming days should keep it from spreading

Rain helped calm a fire in the heart of ski country that has destroyed three houses, including the home of a volunteer firefighter battling the flames near the resort town of Aspen

Gov. John Hickenlooper visited the area Friday. It also offered relief in the southern Colorado mountains where a blaze destroyed over 130 homes and forced the evacuation of at least 2,000 properties

The Spring Creek Fire became the third-largest in state history at 165 square miles

One dead, hundreds of homes destroyed as bushfires tear through California

Bushfires in the west of the United States have killed one person and torched hundreds of homes, with new fires sweeping Southern California as the state struggles through a record-setting heatwave.

A fire on the California-Oregon border that destroyed 40 buildings and claimed at least one life since Thursday remains virtually out of control, but a National Weather Service warning of extreme fire danger from heat and winds expired Friday.

Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for the county.

Another fire on the Camp Pendleton Marine base prompted the evacuation of 750 homes.

The new blazes came as Southern California saw many areas top 38 degrees Celsius on Friday and more than a dozen areas got record-breaking temperatures for the day.

The weather service forecast called for continued hot weather for much of the area on Saturday.

Unidentified remains found.

In the north, the fire in Siskyou County on the Oregon border had virtually emptied the tiny communities of Hilt and Hornbrook.

The body of a resident was found on Friday morning in the charred ruins of a Hornbrook home, but authorities were struggling to identify the body.

New wildfires sweep through California, burning homes - Duration: 8:41.

Firefighters battling wildfires throughout the U.S. West that have torched hundreds of homes got some help from the weather Saturday, even as they tallied damage from new fires that erupted amid a Southern California heat wave

In the south, a wind-driven fire that erupted Friday night burned an estimated 20 structures, including homes, and forced evacuations in the Santa Barbara County community of Goleta, authorities said

Santa Barbara County officials declared a local emergency on Saturday as a fast-moving wildfire driven by strong winds and high temperatures tore through homes and forced 3,200 residents to evacuate

The Holiday Fire, one of more than three dozen in western U.S. states, broke out near the beach community of Goleta, California, on Friday night before charring dried vegetation in the foothills south of the Los Padres National Forest Total calm Saturday morning replaced the 50 mph gusts and forward progress of the fire was stopped at about 100 acres or less, said county fire Capt

Dave Zaniboni.'It's really given us a good opportunity to get in there and get some work done,' Zaniboni said, cautioning that critical fire weather warnings would remain in effect until the evening

As some houses smoldered, a few residents who hadn't left or had managed to return surveyed damage that seemed random: destroyed homes next to others completely intact

Loris Karius ha vuelto a los entrenamientos del Liverpool. Klopp ha apostado por él tras las negativas de Alisson y Oblak y el guardameta está siendo el protagonista de todos los comentarios

Y es que, a pesar de que la afición 'red' mostró su apoyó al alemán el pasado lunes, el jueves el portero recibió duras críticas por la publicación de un vídeo en su Instagram Stories en el que mostró cómo fueron sus vacaciones de verano

Karius estuvo en California y mostró, a cámara lenta, cómo disfrutó en la piscina, jugando al ping-pong e incluso corriendo y haciendo flexiones

El 'red' también se mostró sexy echándose agua por la cabeza, también a cámara lenta, posando y tomándose un helado antes de irse en un coche de lujo a una playa de Malibú y ver a unos chicos hacer skate

✅ Multiple Wildfires Rip Through California Amid Record-Breaking Heat - Duration: 3:26.

Wildfires burned through Southern and Central California on Friday, prompting mandatory evacuations as areas across the region experienced record-breaking heat

Firefighters on Friday were battling blazes in Alpine, Dulzura and Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base in San Diego County, California, where the National Weather Service had issued an excessive heat warning until 9 p

m. A fire also broke out further north in the city of Goleta in Santa Barbara County later Friday night. The wildfire in Alpine, known as the West Fire, started in the morning and spread to more than 400 acres by the afternoon, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, also known as Cal Fire

The owners of the 48-acre Campbell Creek Ranch in Alpine told NBC San Diego that they were watching the World Cup when the TV froze and they realized they had to evacuate

"We had 60 seconds maybe," Colin Campbell, who was with his wife at the time of the evacuation, told the news station. "We knew immediately we needed to get in our cars and go

" The Campbells' farmhouse was in flames by 5 p.m., NBC reported. Officials called for immediate evacuations for residents in the Alpine area, which had reached a record daily high of 109 degrees

The fire temporarily shut down Interstate 8 in both directions. In a Friday afternoon press conference, Cal Fire Chief Daryll Pina said that there have been "multiple reports of structures destroyed and damaged," but did not give an official estimate

The Alpine fire was 5 percent contained, Cal Fire Chief Richard Cordova said in a video update Friday evening. By Friday night, a wildfire started to move through Goleta in Santa Barbara County and engulfed 35 acres by 10:45 p

m. local time. Multiple structures, including some that appear to be homes, were destroyed in the fire, according to Santa Barbara County Fire Public Information Officer Mike Eliason

There were at least three fires burning at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base on Friday, which prompted officials to evacuate 750 homes and military housing in the surrounding area, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported

Another brush fire burned at least 10 acres in Dulzura on Friday, but was 75 percent contained by Friday evening, fire officials said

Also on Friday, firefighters had discovered one person dead in a home that was burned down due to a blaze which began in Siskiyou County near the Oregon border on Thursday

The so-called Klamathon fire had covered 9,600 acres and was only 5 percent contained, Cal Fire officials said Friday evening

Governor Jerry Brown on Friday declared a state of emergency for San Diego County due to the wildfires. He made a similar declaration on Thursday for the blaze in Siskiyou County

Uber and Lyft are forcing Southern California parking companies to adapt or die - Duration: 10:13.

The rapid rise of ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft has taken a big bite out of businesses that rely on people who need to park their cars

Now they're facing a choice: keep dwindling, or innovate. Proper Parking, based in Woodland Hills, has seen a 70% drop in nightclub valet traffic since it started six years ago, said Brandon Helfer, the company's president

In addition, it has seen a 30% drop in restaurant traffic and a 25% drop at weddings

Advertisement "At some nightclubs, we used to park 60 or 70 cars per night," Helfer said

"It got to the point where we were parking 10 to 20." Nightclubs and restaurants, once pillars of the industry, are no longer reliable sources of revenue, Helfer said

In the industry's heyday, valet companies used to turn such a profit off the gigs, they would pay the venue owners for the right to operate there

Now the roles have reversed. Those same venues often have to pay the parking companies if they want a valet presence out front

Helfer's company is far from the only one affected. Parking expert Casey Wagner, who hosts a National Parking Assn

webinar on the rise of the sharing economy, said the numbers point to ride-hailing services taking a big bite out of the parking, car rental and taxi industries

Proper Parking — founded in 2012, the year Uber rolled out its services in Los Angeles — was born into a world already familiar with ride-hailing services

It's openly confronting the change in the industry, finding new ways to profit off its parking services and changing the ones that fail

For starters, that means diversification. "Back in the day, our business philosophy was to get as many nightclub and bar accounts as possible, but now we're shifting toward management valet," Helfer said

Proper Parking leases lots across Los Angeles. Generally, the company uses the properties as straightforward paid parking lots, but when the season is right, it transforms them into a different kind of moneymaker

In October, Proper Parking turns nine of its asphalt lots into hay-filled pumpkin patches called Mr

Jack O' Lanterns Pumpkins. Come Christmastime, it runs tree-selling operations there dubbed Mr

Jingles Christmas Trees. It can be a hassle to relocate monthly parking tenants, but Helfer said the hybrid lots drive up profits

"You have to get creative," Helfer said. "Unless your lot is right next door to the Staples Center, you have to find out-of-the-box ways to generate revenue

" Proper Parking isn't the only one branching out; deeply rooted companies across Southern California are searching for answers

This year, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Ace Parking, the San Diego-based parking giant, has seen a 50% drop in nightclub valet traffic and a 25% drop in restaurant valet traffic

"The entire parking industry is evolving," said Mike Estey, spokesman for the International Parking Institute

"We're not just parking professionals anymore; we're parking, transportation and mobility professionals

" Those three buzzwords encompass a litany of challenges facing the industry. Uber and Lyft have shaken things up in recent years

Autonomous cars — which don't need to be parked near a person's destination, since the vehicles can just drive themselves away after the riders get out — are about to wreak havoc on the status quo

Advertisement There's also the crucial issue of "curb management": local governments' policies on who gets to use the valuable space at the side of the road

Space at the curb can be used for driving, paid parking, free parking, drop-off zones, valet areas and food trucks, but it can't host all those things at once

Decisions about who gets priority have ripple effects on all players in the transportation industry

"We're moving from parking to a broader set of responsibilities," Estey said. "We need to figure out how people move around urban areas

" A report released by the International Parking Institute tracking reasons for radical change in the parking industry found that 62% of the parking professionals surveyed said ride-hailing companies are a major factor

Additionally, half of the responses said there's a demand for mobile applications that provide real-time information on parking pricing and availability

Helfer agrees. For lots with monthly parkers — at an office, for example — Proper Parking offers an app to speed up the process

If someone in the lot plans to eat lunch at noon, they can punch it into the system from their phone and have their car waiting for them

It'll even shoot them a text that thanks them for parking with Proper. The company currently uses the system in only two lots but plans to implement it in others too, for an extra fee

"Lots of accounts are looking for this type of service, especially ones with tech-savvy tenants," Helfer said

With an on-site employee and set parking spots, the concept should be able to avoid the pitfalls of failed, tech-fueled valet start-ups

Start-up Luxe raised $75 million on the promise of delivering an app that would send a valet to a rider's location at the touch of a button, but parking scarcities and thin margins drove the company into the ground

Helfer firmly believes valet is here to stay, noting that a clean-cut employee ready to take the keys is an important part of the image for certain spots, especially in Los Angeles

But the companies unable to meet the growing needs of the tech-savvy driver, he said, will be the first to go

Fires Across California Force Evacuations, Claim Homes And At Least One Life - Duration: 6:08.

Fires Across California Force Evacuations, Claim Homes And At Least One Life

Excessive heat and fire warnings remain in effect from the National Weather Service across much of California, where crews are battling a number of powerful wildfires.

As of Saturday morning, a spokesperson for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said, there were close to a dozen fires that crews were working to contain.

A map from the department shows they span from the Oregon border south to San Diego County, and from the west, in Santa Barbara County, to the east, on the border with Nevada.

Evacuations have been ordered in parts of San Bernardino County because of multiple fast-moving fires in the San Bernardino National Forest.

According to an incident report from the U.S.

Forest Service, the Valley Fire started Friday afternoon and quickly grew to 1,000 acres by 8 that night.

"We have roughly about 500 firefighters assigned, and we have more coming in today, including an incident management team," says Lee Beyer, a public information officer with the U.S.

Forest Service.

He says that as of Saturday morning, the fire seems to be moving away from homes and other structures.

The Los Angeles Times reports that a powerful fire burned numerous homes in Santa Barbara County, "with an evacuation order extending to more than 2,000 residents.

" The report goes on:.

"Officials described a chaotic scene as the fire burst out of control around 8:40 p.m., catching some residents off guard.

County 911 lines were jammed with calls, and emergency officials said they contacted 1,200 lines to urge evacuations.".

Gov.

Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency in San Diego County, where fires have burned homes, damaged infrastructure and forced evacuations.

On Saturday morning, Cal Fire San Diego tweeted that firefighters continue to make progress and that containment has risen to 30 percent.

In Northern California, at least one person has died in the Klamathon Fire, which began near the Oregon border.

A situation summary from Cal Fire Saturday morning noted "extreme fire behavior with movement in multiple directions." The fire has grown to cover more than 21,000 acres.

Record-breaking heat contributed to the danger this past week.

The National Weather Service is warning of temperatures as high as 110 degrees for Saturday in certain counties.

The high temperatures and low humidity, as well as gusty winds, create conditions in which fires can "grow rapidly in size and intensity," a National Weather Service alert cautions.

"It's going to be a long fire season," Lee Beyer with the U.S.

Forest Service says, noting the dry winter and near-drought conditions in much of the western U.S.

"Folks certainly should be aware of fires around them and what's going on," he adds.

"Have an evacuation plan in place, because sometimes you only get 10 minutes' notice that you need to leave an area.".

The current heat wave has also prompted health concerns in Southern California especially, even for those not affected by the wildfires.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a statement on Thursday urging residents to take advantage of cooling centers throughout the city if they don't have access to air conditioning.

"Extreme heat can be dangerous — especially for young people and seniors," said Garcetti in the statement.

"When temperatures rise this high, our libraries, recreation centers and senior centers give Angelenos who need to escape the heat a friendly, welcoming, safe place to stay cool and healthy.".
