The wildfire that began yesterday in Chatsworth exploded overnight to 17,000 acres and raged into Ventura County. Evacuations were ordered after 1 a.m. in Oak Park and the Old Agoura neighborhood. Schools are closed in the Las Virgenes and Oak Park districts, and some also in Chatsworth and Calabasas. Only one home has been destroyed, the wires say.
