The Hurst Fire, also known as the Sylmar Fire, is an active wildfire burning in the Sylmar area of the city of Los Angeles in Southern California.
Cause
The cause of the fire is under investigation. It is one of the fires being driven by an extremely powerful Santa Ana wind event, the wind event has wind gusts reaching up to 100 MPH. It is burning along with the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire.
Progression
The fire started burning at 10:00 p.m. (PST) 7 January 2025, with initial spread to 50 acres 10:10 p.m. The fire spread rapidly and was estimated to have doubled in size to 100 acres (40 ha) less than half an hour after it was reported. By 1:00 a.m. 8 January, the fire was estimated to have spread to about 300 acres (120 ha), and by 1:49 a.m., the fire had spread to about 500 acres (200 ha),, largely within the footprint of the 2019 Saddleridge Fire.
Impact
Mandatory evacuation orders have been sent out to the residents of Sylmar north of the 210 Freeway, including the Oakridge Manufactured Home Park and most of Rancho Cascades, as well as the Sunshine Canyon Landfill; as of 3:00 a.m., mandatory evacuation orders were extended north into the San Gabriel Mountains, including Whitney Canyon Park. Warnings have also been sent out to residents in the Knollwood area of Granada Hills. These warnings were extended to southern Newhall by 3:00 a.m.

Accommodations for large animals were made at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. As of 11:00 p.m., a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Probation Department said that the nearby J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall was not been ordered to evacuate yet, but they were monitoring the situation and were prepared to do so.
