The Latest: Los Angeles-Area Fires Burning Away From Homes
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Jun 20, 2016, 9:08 PM ET
The Latest on wildfires burning in the West (all times local):
6:05 p.m.
Authorities say two new and surging wildfires in the Southern California suburbs are burning away from hundreds of evacuated homes, but a change in winds could bring serious danger.
The first of the fires in the Azusa area was sparked by a fatal car crash. Within a few hours Monday, it had grown to over 2 square miles.
The second fire began burning just a few miles away in the Duarte area, but it's closer to homes than the first. The cause of the second fire is not yet known.
Los Angeles County Deputy Chief John B. Tripp says hundreds of houses were quickly evacuated.
