1:35Now PlayingThe Canyon Fire in L.A. County has exploded in size, reaching nearly 5,000 acres in less than 24 hours and the Lee and Elk Fires in Colorado have burned more than 73,000 acres.
The Canyon Fire, a rapidly spreading blaze in California, is impacting communities in the Los Angeles area as thousands have been placed under evacuation orders and warnings, according to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger.
The local emergency proclamation issued by officials enables the county to "expedite access to critical resources and cut through bureaucratic red tape to enhance firefighting and recovery efforts," according to a statement from Los Angeles County.
