At least four fires are burning within 100 miles of Los Angeles — here's where they are and what you need to know, at a glance.
Bridge fire
The Bridge fire broke out Sunday afternoon in the Angeles National Forest northeast of Glendora in the East Fork of San Gabriel Canyon. By Wednesday, the fire had grown by thousands of acres and was burning out of control. Mandatory evacuations had multiplied, including in Wrightwood and Palmdale.
Officials have said they are most concerned about Mount Baldy Village and Wrightwood, but an evacuation warning was also issued for the foothill neighborhoods of Upland and San Antonio Heights.
