Wildfires spreads all over Southern California on Saturday, reducing 500 mobile homes to cinders and forcing thousands of homeowners and even firefighters to flee as flames as high as 50 feet licked at their heels.
The Sayre Fire, the worst of the blazes, raced through Sylmar, a San Fernando Valley town on the edge of the Angeles National Forest, forcing the evacuation of 10,000 people and shutting down major freeways including Interstate 5.
