Another fire broke out in wind-whipped Southern California — burning through 8,060 acres overnight amid a recent spate of blazes across the state, fire officials reported.

The fast-moving blaze, dubbed the Maria Fire, erupted on top of Santa Ana Mountain, just south of Santa Paula, around 6:15 p.m. Thursday, destroying at least two structures and threatening 1,800 others.

About 7,500 people were forced out of their homes.

The brush fire aggressively burned through critically dry grass — and at least one home was consumed by the flames along the southern flank of the fire, according to the Los Angeles Times.

But because the fire broke out high on the ridge, authorities had some time to conduct evacuations before the flames crept down into residential areas, Ventura Fire Assistant Chief John McNeil told the paper.

But there was a downside: The fire’s remote location made it hard for firefighters to reach it, McNeil said.

Ventura County is also battling the so-called Easy Fire, which broke out Wednesday between the cities of Simi Valley and Moorpark, west of Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley, around 6 a.m. local time.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, located on a hilltop in Simi Valley, was evacuated but not damaged, spokeswoman Melissa Giller said.

That blaze burned through 1,860 acres (3 square miles) and was 80 percent contained by Friday morning, according to Cal Fire’s website.

There are 13 active blazes burning in the Golden State, which has battled a series of wildfires over the past two weeks.
