Fire officials said at least 71 homes had been destroyed since the fire started last week, most of them clustered in the foothill community of La Crescenta on the northern fringe of suburban Los Angeles. Other neighborhoods are now at risk, including about 300 homes on the southwest flank of the blaze just inside Los Angeles city limits.

The fire more than doubled in size as it burned out of control for a sixth day, charring 105,000 acres (42,500 hectares), up from 42,000 acres (17,000 hectares) late on Sunday, and sending up towering palls of smoke that fouled the air for miles (km) around. Two firefighters died on Sunday when they were overrun by flames in the Angeles National Forest and rugged San Gabriel Mountains. Nearly 2,600 firefighting personnel, some from as far away as Montana and Wyoming, were battling the blaze.
