A rapidly growing wildfire in the foothills north of Los Angeles threatened hundreds of homes on Monday and forced nearby residents and students at a small college to evacuate, fire and school officials said. About 500 households in Santa Paula, California, about 70 miles (115 km) northwest of Los Angeles, were told to leave as the 5,000-acre wildfire, known as the Thomas Fire, burned dry brush, Ventura County officials said on Twitter.
