September 2, 2017. The brush fire which quickly burned 2,000 acres

The blaze has so far destroyed one house and forced the evacuation of nearly 500 homes in various parts of the city and neighboring Glendale.
The fire broke out on the US Labor Day holiday long weekend and as the western part of the country was facing a summer heatwave.
Authorities said wind was their main concern because it could whip up the flames and allow it to spread quickly in unpredictable directions.
