Wildfire battle

MORE Than 1,000 firefighters battled a deadly and fast-moving wildfire on the northern edge of Los Angeles on Saturday, reinforcing containment lines that allowed thousands of residents under evacuation orders to return to their homes. The wind-driven blaze, dubbed the Saddleridge fire, broke out on Thursday night and raced through the area’s dry foothills and brush-filled canyons to cover some 7552 acres (3056 hectares) by midday on Saturday.
