LOS ANGELES - Fast-moving Santa Ana winds are expected to blast through Southern California on Wednesday, whipping up new wildfires after a brief respite for firefighters on Tuesday.
City arson investigators said on Tuesday the Getty fire was likely to have been caused by a broken tree branch being blown into power lines during high winds on Monday morning. “This is a challenging time,” Newsom told reporters at a command center in the University of California’s Los Angeles campus.
By early Wednesday, crews had managed to confine the blaze to about 650 acres while carving solid containment lines around 15% of its perimeter. Utilities serving Southern California’s more highly urbanized areas have imposed smaller-scale outages.
