- Burning trash dumped by a garbage truck caused a fire that by early Friday had destroyed dozens of homes in California’s Riverside County, fire officials said, as wildfires across the state led to power cuts for hundreds of thousands of people.
LA fire officials were not immediately available to comment on that fire, called the Saddleridge fire, which covered parts of Sylmar and numerous other foothill communities. Although many of the other reported blazes in the state were quickly contained by firefighters, the risk to life and property has prompted Pacific Gas and Electric Co cut power to about 730,000 customers, a move that California Governor Gavin Newsom blamed on years of mismanagement by the utility.

The Saddleridge Fire, has set ablaze several homes as of early Friday. Television news reports showed at least two homes on fire. No official count on evacuation was immediately available. Much of northern California, from San Francisco to the Oregon border, remains under a state “red flag” fire alert.
