The Corral Fire was a wildfire that burned from November 24 until November 27, 2007 in the Malibu Creek State Park., 2007. The fire, which burned 4,901 acres (20 km2) of land, forced the evacuation of 10,000-14,000 residents in Los Angeles, and injured 7 firefighters.
The recurrence of powerful Santa Ana Winds fueled the fire upon its start on November 24 at 3:24 AM PST. The Corral Fire rapidly expanded, and soon destroyed over 80 structures, including 49 homes, with another 27 damaged. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger reactivated the state of emergency on November 24, which was declared during previous months wildfires to "...(provide) any needed resources to fight these fires or help those Californians who have been impacted." During the morning of November 27, at 8:00 AM PST, the Corral Fire was reported to be 100% contained.
