Fire Devours Angeles National Forest as Evacuations Spread
A massive blaze near Mount Baldy and another wildfire to the east raged out of control, burning 12,000 acres and forcing about 100 homes and 40 to 50 cabins to be evacuated. Smoke rose to 10,000 feet while a weather satellite showed the reach of ash along the coast. Residents sheltered in place as winds threaten containment and one Glendale resident defiantly sprayed his home with a garden hose.
