The Juno Fire on Saturday burned 188 acres near Lancaster Road at Munz Ranch Road, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

A wildfire burning near the Los Angeles-San Bernardino county line grew to more than 2,600 acres Saturday, spurring evacuation orders in Llano amid searing heat and approaching monsoonal weather conditions across Southern California.
The larger Summit Fire in Antelope Valley was 8 percent contained on Saturday night. One residence was damaged and a minor structure was destroyed, according to an incident update. The Summit blaze ignited shortly before 1 p.m. Friday afternoon in Llano near Jesus Canyon Road and East Avenue Z
