LOS ANGELES: California wild fire is still spreading and it would be remain for days, officials say.
Firefighters will need at least until midweek to get control of wildfires that have destroyed more than 700 homes in Southern California.
According to a Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman high winds have fanned blazes from Santa Barbara to Anaheim since Thursday, scorching an estimated 35,000 acres of land.
The most extensive losses have been in the Oakridge Mobile Home Park in the Sylmar district of Los Angeles, where winds clocked as high as 70 mph drove a wall of flames across the hillsides and destroyed nearly 500 homes.
Though, no bodies were found during the search, and police believe most of those living in the 608 mobile homes fled the fire.
