LAKE ISABELLA, Calif. — Hundreds of residents in small mountain communities were under evacuation orders Wednesday as a forest fire in the southern Sierra Nevada grew to more than 6,100 acres and destroyed one home.
Mandatory evacuations involved portions of the town of Bodfish and an area known as Myers Canyon, said Cindy Thill, a U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman.
The fire erupted Sunday and burned in a portion of Sequoia National Forest southwest of Lake Isabella, a popular fishing, boating and hiking area about 110 miles north of downtown Los Angeles.
