A brush fire was some how ignited in Castaic, in Southern California, on Wednesday.
And with the current strong winds, this fire quickly spread to 5,000+ acres near the 5 Freeway.
Evacuation orders for 19,000 residents and warnings for another 16,000 followed as it spread to Ventura County.
Firefighters fought to contain the blaze using helicopters and Super Scoopers.
Meanwhile, just the smoke alone shut down the 5 Freeway.
No injuries or structural damage have been reported.
What are the chances that another fire breaks out near Los Angeles?

Let’s keep a lookout for car wheels that turn to liquid metal, while nearby trees remain unburnt.
Telltale signs of a DEW attack.
ABC News reports:
CASTAIC, Calif. (KABC) — A brush fire erupted amid powerful winds Wednesday morning in the Castaic area, quickly spreading to more than 5,000 acres as it burned out of control near the 5 Freeway, officials said.
Fire crews from Los Angeles County and the Angeles National Forest responded to the so-called Hughes Fire after it broke out shortly after 10:30 a.m. in the area of Lake Hughes Road.
Evacuation orders and warnings were issued shortly afterward, according to official maps on the Cal Fire and Genasys websites.
As of 12:45 p.m., an estimated 19,000 people live in the mandatory evacuation zones, according to a data analysis. Another 16,000 residents were under evacuations warnings.
The evacuation orders were extended into Ventura County around 2 p.m., reaching the Lake Piru area west of Castaic.
No injuries were reported and no structures were immediately threatened in the mostly rural and mountainous burn zone.
Despite firefighters’ efforts, the fire crossed Lake Hughes Road. Evacuations were in effect in the Castaic Lake area and warnings in remote canyon areas near Castaic, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The lake was acting as a firebreak of sorts as it stopped part of the fire line from advancing toward the freeway.
Massive columns of smoke were rising above the burn area and were visible for miles.
Multiple helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, including four Super Scoopers, were seen performing water drops and dumping pink Phos-Chek on the flames.
The 5 Freeway was shrouded in smoke and shut down through the Grapevine Wednesday afternoon.
