Watch Los Angeles Fires Sept 2009
Wildfires Rage in California, 12,000 Homes in Los Angeles Threatened.
At least eight large wildfires are raging in California. The largest is in Los Angeles, where a massive blaze in the Angeles National Forest, north of the city, is threatening suburban communities. That fire has scorched more than 34,000 hectares and destroyed at least 21 homes. More than 6,000 households have been ordered to evacuate, several people have been injured and two firefighters have died.
The massive Los Angeles fire nearly doubled in size from Sunday night to Monday morning, when firefighters resumed their attack from the ground and air. More than 20 helicopters and air tankers are dropping water and fire retardant, and two Canadian "super scoopers" -- giant aircraft that scoop up water from reservoirs and drop it on the flames -- are being readied for service.
