The Easy fire erupted shortly after 6 a.m. Wednesday near Easy Street and Madera Road in Simi Valley and quickly began burning out of control toward the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

By midmorning Thursday, the blaze had charred over 1,700 acres and was 10% contained.

The Easy fire has chewed through 1,600 acres of dry, dense brush. After leaping across a road, it made a run for the Reagan Presidential Library.
