Minutes after the Hughes fire broke out, LA County Sub-District. Atty. Jonathan Hadami said he walked out of Antelope Valley Courthouse in Lancaster and back to Santa Clarita, where his children and hundreds of others were evacuated from West Creek Academy, as the sky darkened with smoke.

“You had some parents crying. You had younger children … and they were crying. You can see smoke coming from the school and everyone is on edge,” said Hatami, who is 8 and 10 years old.

The latest fire forced thousands of residents to evacuate, closing a major one North-South Freeway ArteryThreatened a prisoner A massive prison And weeks of lost firefighters and emergency responders battling wildfires across Southern California. Although Hadami and his family have yet to evacuate, his wife, a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy, was dispatched to the flames this afternoon.

The veteran lawyer said his entire family was experiencing “fire fatigue” after waiting for wind-driven flames to threaten their home for more than two weeks.

Hadami said they currently live in an evacuation alert zone, but are waiting by the door.

“We're ready to see what happens and we're ready to go,” he said. Pictures taken from Hatami's backyard showed huge clouds of gray smoke in the distance, and he winced at the thought of his wife being even closer to the flames.

“Everyone is on edge. It's a lot. I love California. I love Los Angeles, but it's definitely stressful,” she said. “It's hard to go to work when your house is on fire, your kids are at school, your wife is out, and you don't know what's going to happen to her.”

The Hughes fire quickly burned 5,000 acres and forced thousands to flee their homes amid a month of extreme fire conditions that have plagued Southern California.

The Hughes Fire started off Lake Hughes Road just before 11 a.m. and quickly prompted evacuation orders in and around Castaic Lake, which extended westward into Ventura County and north near Sandberg by late afternoon. More than 19,000 people were ordered to evacuate and 14,000 were in evacuation warnings.
