Evacuation orders are in place for five areas in Ventura County, Calif., where the uncontained Canyon fire has now engulfed an area one-third the size of Manhattan.

The Canyon fire was initially reported at about 30 acres but had rapidly grown to 1,500 acres in a few hours on Thursday, officials said.

A fast-moving wildfire near the Ventura and Los Angeles county line spread to over 1,500 acres on Aug. 7, triggering evacuations in the area.
