Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich and county Chief Executive William T. Fujioka visited the front line of the Agua Dulce fire.

‘It was very devastating,’ Antonovich said. ‘We watched helicopters making repeated drops trying to save homes. There are 5,500 homes that have been evacuated. Fifteen thousand people are out of their homes, 25 homes have been destroyed.’

‘It’s very sad,’ he said. ‘We’re going to help people rebuild who lost their homes.... All these fires are shutting down California.’
