New LA wildfire engulfs sky with plumes of smoke

Thousands of people have been evacuated after a new fast-moving wildfire erupted in Los Angeles county on Wednesday afternoon.

The Hughes fire ignited about 45 miles northwest of the city of Los Angeles, near Castaic Lake, in a mountainous area that borders several residential areas and schools.

It has grown to more than 8,000 acres in a few hours, but no homes or businesses have been damaged.
