Fires threaten LA as parched brush fuels danger
Los Angeles firefighters battled a fifth blaze this week amid fierce winds and dry brush as the rainy season stayed exceptionally dry. Red flag alerts were expected to cover much of the county with forecasts of 35 to 56 mph winds renewing flames. An abandoned campfire sparked the May Canyon fire near the LA Sylmar border, threatening homes and delaying full containment. Authorities evacuated hundreds and noted hom es with shingle roofs were more vulnerable.
