Firetrucks standby on the grounds of the Oakridge Mobile Home Park after firefighters put down flames, after a wind-whipped wildfire swept through the area, in the Sylmar section of Los Angeles, California, on November 15, 2008. As firefighters tackled the Montecito blaze, a fresh fire erupted near Sylmar in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles late November 14, destroying at least three homes and forcing the evacuation of patients from a hospital.
