Marrone called the situation in Santa Clarita “dynamic and difficult to contain” in the dry, windy weather conditions.
The fire chief said the light to moderate Santa Ana winds are continuing to spread the blaze, but so far, no structures have been damaged or destroyed.
Approximately 31,000 people have been affected by evacuation orders and another 23,000 are under evacuation warnings.
A red flag fire warning for Los Angeles and Ventura counties has been extended until Friday at 10 a.m., officials said.
