Meteorologists said there was a chance the winds would be as severe as those that fueled the Palisades and Eaton fires, but that different locations would likely be affected.

The fire is burning near Castaic Lake, a reservoir about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Many Californians know the area as the home of the Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park. It is north of the Palisades fire, which has consumed more than 23,000 acres since it started more than two weeks ago.
