The Saddleridge Fire has consumed over 4,700 acres in the San Fernando valley, just north of Los Angeles, and is 0% contained. It erupted at about 9 p.m. Thursday and is moving at 800 acres per hour.
The Saddleridge Fire has caused at least one death. A man died when he had a heart attack while trying to fight the fire himself, according to the Los Angeles County sheriff.
The blaze is unpredictable, LAPD Chief Michel Moore warned, and he urged those in evacuation areas to follow orders to leave. Residents will not be allowed back in until it is safe, he said.
