The Freeway Complex fire moved so fast that a truck heading to protect homes soon after the blaze started had to be diverted to save colleagues in peril. Orange County authorities say 113 homes were destroyed by the wildfire.
In Sylmar, residents visited the blackened Oakridge Mobile Home Park, where about 500 homes burned to the ground. Cadaver dogs searched for remains, but L.A. County coroner's officials believed no one died in the wildfire.
Authorities revealed that the wildfire was sparked by a smoldering bonfire built on a ridgeline overlooking Montecito. The 1,940-acre Tea fire damaged or destroyed 219 residences.
