The Kenneth Fire broke out at about 2:40 p.m. along the western edge of the San Fernando Valley, growing to 960 acres as of Thursday evening, prompting mandatory evacuations. "We’re expecting this fire to rapidly spread due to high winds," said L.A. Mayor Karen Bass during a Thursday news conference.

The 75-acre Woodley Fire sparked Wednesday morning near the Sepulveda Basin in the San Fernando Valley. The blaze is burning by the 101 and 405 freeways and is being driven by strong winds. Cal Fire reports that the flames pose the threat of crossing Burbank Boulevard.

The cause of the fire is unknown and under investigation. Unlike the other fires, no mandatory evacuation orders were issued in association with the Woodley Fire. Newsweek reached
