Yet another wildfire erupted Wednesday morning, this time in the San Fernando Valley, making the already intense wildfire crisis in Los Angeles County even worse
The "Woodley Fire" ignited early Wednesday morning, with reports coming in around 6:15 a.m. from North Woodley Avenue near the Sepulveda Basin. Since then, it's grown to about 75 acres and is being pushed southward by fierce winds, according to Cal Fire.
The fire is now threatening to cross Burbank Boulevard, and crews are actively working to get a handle on it and protect nearby structures.
The Woodley Fire is just one of many challenges crews are facing. The Los Angeles area is also battling several other wildfires, including the Hurst Fire, the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire. The Eaton Fire, in particular, is causing major concern as it threatens homes in Pasadena and Altadena.
