  • The Hurst fire, located in Sylmar, has burned over 770 acres and is currently 77% contained.
  • Preliminary data indicates a relay event coinciding with the fire's ignition time, but it remains unclear if the damage occurred before or after.
  • Overall, five fires in the region have led to the destruction of over 10,000 structures and caused an estimated economic loss of up to $150 billion.
