Over 130 homes destroyed in Southern California amid devastating wildfire

Forecasters expect light winds over the weekend that will continue to aid firefighters.

CORRECTION / TOPSHOT - A fire helicopter flies toward the Mountain Fire�s plume as it scorches acres, the wildfire fueled by strong Santa Ana winds, in Moorpark, California, on November 7, 2024. Thousands of people were urged to flee an out-of-control wildfire burning around communities near Los Angeles on November 7, with scores of homes already lost to the fast-moving flames.
Fierce seasonal winds had cast embers up to three miles (five kilometers) from the seat of the fire around Camarillo, with new spots burning on hillsides, farmland and in residential areas.
