Two wildfires that erupted and spread quickly

The most destructive of the fires was burning about 10 miles southeast of Tehachapi, which is about 75 miles north of Los Angeles. A lot more than 30 houses were lost in the modest hill community of Old West Ranch and an additional 150 structures ended up threatened, firefighters explained Tuesday. Kern County Fire Department Engineer Anthony Romero stated the fire erupted at about 3 p.m. in the area some 70 miles north of Los Angeles. It has grown to 1,230 acres, or practically a couple of square miles, according to the fire department. "The wind has been a huge element," Romero stated. "It's changing on us a whole lot." Houses in the eastern foothills of the Tehachapi Mountains were smoldering early Wednesday, with one particular structure appearing to have collapsed in on itself. A singed, wooden banister was the only piece of the household left standing. About 250 firefighters from a number of different agencies have been on the scene, together with water-dropping aircraft. Battalion Chief David Goodell mentioned the fire was about 25 % contained at one a.m. Crews have been operating on the southeast corner of the blaze widening bulldozer lines and setting backfires. "We're trying to place to bed a fire that could get a whole lot larger," he explained. A long time of drought, along with tree ailments and bugs among the foothills' pine and chaparral, have turned the region into a "tinderbox," Goodell stated. The result in of the fire is under investigation. Wyant Winsor, 52, a delivery driver for the local school district, was functioning on property he owns in Aged West Ranch when he saw the very first smoke at about two:20 p.m. and watched as it grew rapidly above the next half hour. When the fire department told him to evacuate, he parked his tractor in a clearing and produced a run for it.
