MONO COUNTY, Calif. (AP) — A fast-moving wildfire in a picturesque California county along the Nevada state border has damaged 15 structures, prompted evacuations and forced the closure of part of a highway on Thursday as firefighters worked to contain it in the face of strong winds.

A fast-moving wildfire raged across thousands of acres of California prairie near the Nevada border on Friday, while Los Angeles was in the throes of back-to-back storms that could trigger flooding and mudslides in areas scarred by January's devastating wildfires.

Hours after the wind-whipped Pack fire ignited in Mono County on Thursday afternoon, damaging homes, a storm rolled in, bringing with it much needed precipitation.

An unusually strong storm system called an atmospheric river was dousing Southern California on Saturday, prompting flood warnings in areas of coastal Los Angeles County that recently were ravaged by wildfire.

According to Cal Fire, the Pack Fire ignited Thursday at 12:25 p.m. Pacific and fire officials confirmed 28 structures were destroyed by the wildfire and five structures had been damaged by the wildfire.

The charges stem from a mandated $1 billion bailout by insurance companies of the state’s last-resort insurance program, known as the FAIR Plan, after it ran out of money to cover roughly $4 billion in claims from victims of the Los Angeles wildfires, which damaged or destroyed nearly 13,000 homes.
