Multiple Wildfires Raging Across California
-------------------------------------------

In California, multiple fires are raging across the state. The
Saddleridge Fire broke out Thursday night in Los Angeles County,
prompting hundreds of evacuations. Multiple blazes are expanding in
Riverside, California, fueled by strong winds and dry conditions. This
all comes as public utilities Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas
and Electric are implementing planned blackouts across the state to
prevent wildfires, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without
power.
