(Bloomberg) -- A major commuter artery in Los Angeles closed Wednesday morning and some of the citys wealthiest estates, including Rupert Murdochs Moraga vineyard, were ordered evacuated as Southern California firefighters battled several wind-fanned wildfires.
Stretches of Interstate 405 were shut and neighborhoods near the freeway and Mulholland Drive, including parts of Bel-Air, were being evacuated, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Residents were warned by text messages.
The 405 connects the San Fernando Valley to Santa Monica and other major job centers on the west side of Los Angeles. Flames were visible from the road, according to photos posted on social media. About 220 firefighters are on the scene of what is being called the Skirball fire, due to its proximity to the Skirball Cultural Center, a Jewish museum and events space.
A series of fires stretching from Ventura, California, about 65 miles (105 kilometers) north of Los Angeles, to some of the citys far-flung suburbs prompted road closures and evacuations. More than 150 structures were reported destroyed near Ventura on Tuesday. Dozens of schools in Ventura and Los Angeles counties were closed.
