Westlake Fire Expands as Second Blaze Rages
In California, firefighters contained a 1,100 acre brush fire near Los Angeles while a second blaze, the Westlake Fire, erupted about 16 miles away. It has burned over 2,000 acres, gutted three houses, and left 900 firefighters struggling to contain it and save about 300 homes. Six firefighters were hurt, one critically by a bulldozer. Firefighting efforts continued as smoke roiled the hills above Malibu and crews awaited heavy ocean fog for aid.
