Five zones in Los Angeles County are under evacuation orders, with 2,700 residents evacuated and 700 structures threatened by the flames, officials said. Six other zones in this county are currently under an evacuation warning, with 1,400 residents and 5,000 structures at risk, officials said.

Authorities warned that the fire is spreading fast due to extreme heat and dry conditions in Southern California.

Parts of Los Angeles County were evacuated in the early morning hours Friday after the fast-moving wildfire, named the Canyon Fire by fire officials, crossed over from Ventura County, California into Los Angeles.
