A fast-moving wildfire has razed more than 4,000 acres, forcing thousands to flee just north of Los Angeles, California.
The Saddleridge fire has led to a mandatory evacuation for 12,700 homes, some of which have been destroyed.
A bin lorry that dumped burning rubbish sparked another wildfire Thursday east of Los Angeles.
The state's largest utility this week pulled the plug on at least 700,000 customers to prevent wildfires sparked by windblown power lines.
No injuries have been reported so far in the Saddleridge fire, which was fuelled by gusty winds, warm temperatures and low humidity.
