New fire erupts in Southern California as thousands remain under evacuation from fast-moving Hughes Fire

VIDEO/PHOTOS: Firefighters are tackling a new brush fire โ€” dubbed the Sepulveda Fire โ€” near Interstate 405 and Sepulveda Blvd in Los Angeles. The fire sparked hours after fire crews started to achieve some containment on the Hughes Fire, which spread rapidly Wednesday afternoon in a Los Angeles County suburb. An evacuation warning for the brush fire was issued for some residents in Sherman Oaks around 11:40 p.m. Wednesday โ€” the warning has since been lifted, but smoke could be seen in the area near locations including campuses for UCLA and for Mount Saint Maryโ€™s University-Los Angeles.
