The blaze consumed over 2,900 acres, fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds and prolonged dry weather, with officials warning of worsening overnight conditions.
Firefighters battled the blaze, scooping water from the sea, while authorities reported no injuries despite significant property threats and traffic chaos during evacuations.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
