Massive wildfire flares up near LA
A massive wildfire near Los Angeles has today flared up and a new evacuation order has been issued for homes in a remote canyon.
The US Forest Service said 15 to 20 homes were ordered to be evacuated at around 4am local time today as winds pushed flames into Pacoima Canyon north-east of Los Angeles. The canyon lies in a 5-mile gap in firelines that crews hope to close later in the day.
