The body of a man was found Saturday in a compact sedan in the driveway of a home in Santa Clarita, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Sunday.
In September 2015, a state of emergency had been declared in the northern areas of California due to a wildfire that forced thousands of people to evacuate small towns. Another fire, about 300 miles up the coast, is blazing across 10 square miles north of Big Sur.
The home also may have burned, he said.
The area was among those ordered evacuated as the fire raged through brush withered by days of 100F temperatures.
Fire officials say some buildings have burned, but it’s not clear whether they were homes, garages or outbuildings.
“You’ve still got hotspots in that area, a lot of smoldering stuff”, and trees that might fall because their roots had burned, Judy said.
Residents reported smoke-filled air and falling ash in many parts of the greater Los Angeles area, and at least one building was damaged or destroyed by the fire. “It’s doing what it wants”.
In Santa Clarita, more than 900 firefighters battled flames in temperatures exceeding 41C.
The owner told KABC-TV (http://bit.ly/29WRfQC ) he had about $5 million in goods in the warehouse. “We fought as best as we could”.
Plumes of smoke from the fast-moving fires hovered over Los Angeles on Saturday, blocking the sun to a mere orange disk at times. The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a smoke warning, saying that the air conditions will be unhealthy at times.
A Bengal tiger and other animals were evacuated from Wildlife Waystation, at sanctuary for rescued exotic creatures within Angeles National Forest.
Southern California firefighters toiled in another day of triple-digit heat from a dome of high pressure over the region.

The fire prompted evacuation orders covering about 1,500 homes and is threatening about 100 commercial structures. “We felt threatened this morning and decided we needed to go”, Masten-Hansen told KSBW-TV (http://bit.ly/2a67k7i).
