Around 10,000 people have been urged to evacuate their homes and over a hundred buildings have been destroyed in forest fires in southern California, USA, reports the rescue service.

The fire broke out in the municipality of Ventura on Wednesday morning and has grown to cover an area of approximately 83 square kilometers. The cause of the fire is still unclear.

According to James Fryhoff, sheriff of Ventura, ten people have been injured, but none of them are said to have life-threatening injuries.

Firefighters on site are working to extinguish the fire on the ground and are receiving support from water helicopters. The weather forecast suggests that the strong winds that contributed to the spread of the flames appear to be decreasing in strength.

The fire is in the same area that was severely affected by forest fires both in 2017 and 2018.
