The fires have led to our country’s largest evacuation since Hurricane Katrina. Among the prime time TV shows affected is 24 starring actor Kiefer Sutherland. The producers shut down production after cast and crew members were affected by smoke produced from these fires in California. The filming was then moved from a military base to the show’s soundstages.
