Wildfire on edge of Los Angeles suburbs grows to 22,000 acres


A wildfire that already has destroyed dozens of cabins and forced the closure of Angeles National Forest threatened this mountain community early Wednesday, prompting mandatory evacuations. The fire has scorched about 22,000 acres and stampeded across 11 miles of the forest on the edge of suburban Los Angeles. The blaze was only 10 percent contained as of early Wednesday.
