Wildfire near LA heads north, threatens thousands
A growing wildfire in the mountains above Los Angeles surged north Sunday, forcing more evacuations and threatening some 10,000 homes.
Residents of the small town of Acton were urged to evacuate as the 4-day-old blaze headed into the Antelope Valley. The fire spread in all directions, leaving three people burned, destroying at least three homes and forcing thousands to flee.
"The leading edge, the one they're really focused on, is that northern edge. It's moving pretty fast up in that direction," said U.S. Forest Service spokesperson Randi Jorgenson. "But the fire's growing in all directions. All fronts are going to be areas of concern today."

A slight drop in temperatures and an influx of fire crews from around the state were expected to bring some relief Sunday. Some 2,000 firefighters were battling the blaze.
Mandatory evacuations were in effect for neighborhoods in Altadena, Glendale, Pasadena, La Crescenta and Big Tujunga Canyon.
