A new one ignited and theyre calling it the skur val fire. Not far from the one in ventura fire. Gina kim is up early with us. Good morning, chris. The Weather Service issued a pretty blunt dire warning overnight saying extremely critical fire weather conditions could cause rapid fire spread once again today here in Southern California. Were seeing a little bit of this right now as we speak. We cant seem to catch a break four days into this kind of devastation. Were expecting 50 to 80 mile an hour gusts sustained through today. Thursday, all day. That has fire officials throwing up their hand saying conditions this bad, they will not be able to stop the fire. Were also expecting summerlike conditions, single digit humidity as well as temperatures that could get up to 80 degrees in some areas. Of the four fires that are actively burn
