LOS ANGELES: Gusting winds fuelling a fast-moving wildfire in southern California showed no signs of abating on Saturday as a blaze that forced the evacuation of some 100,000 people kept burning out of control.
A red flag warning of critical fire danger -- strong winds and very low humidity -- has been extended into the weekend, the National Weather Service said.
Firefighters said people have taken evacuation orders seriously in the so-called Saddleridge fire burning in the San Fernando Valley area of greater Los Angeles. "The fact that community members heeded evacuation warnings early made a huge difference, allowing firefighters to enter those communities and protect properties," Los Angeles County Fire Chief Deputy Dave Richardson said on Friday evening.
