Footage shows the Hughes Fire as it spread across more than 10,000 acres in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday afternoon.

Footage captured by Kevin Manthei from a car near Castaic Lake, off Lake Hughes Road, shows smoke towering over nearby homes.

The wildfire, fueled by high winds, began around 10:45 am but within the first hour, the blaze had scorched more than 500 acres, and by 12:30 pm., it had expanded to 3,407 acres, according to Cal Fire.

Officials said that by 1 pm., flames continued to race through the dry terrain, forcing mandatory evacuation orders for tens of thousands of residents in the surrounding areas.
