Big fires force people to find new routes -- including people using apps like Waze and Google Maps.

"The Los Angeles Police Department asked drivers to avoid navigation apps, which are steering users onto more open routes — in this case, streets in the neighborhoods that are on fire," the Los Angeles Timesreported Wednesday night.
On Thursday morning, a Waze spokesperson told Mashable that the Google-owned company had worked with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) to close around 110 dangerous road segments on the app. It's also providing drivers "up-to-date evacuation routes" and information on nearby shelters.

Google Maps and Waze are by far the most popular navigation apps in the App Store.
More 700 homes have been evacuated due to the Skirball fire in densely populated Bel-Air, with four homes destroyed and 11 damaged as of Thursday morning, according to the Times. North of Los Angeles in Ventura, flames have burned 96,000 acres and damaged at least 150 structures, forcing the evacuation of around 50,000 people.
