The Los Angeles Times reported that the Santa Ana winds pick back up on Sunday, and the risk of fire will remain until Monday.

“We have homes that we believe are lost,” Mayor Eric Garcetti told reporters at a televised news conference after 5 a.m. He urged residents to leave their homes if they’re under mandatory evacuation orders, saying some residents had only 15 minutes to leave their homes. “Get out when we say get out,” he said, urging homeowners to not even attempt to fight the fire with garden hoses.

Los Angeles Fire Capt. Erik Scott said officials were really concerned about Mandeville Canyon, the Brentwood area around Bundy Drive and Mountaingate. Scott reported at least two homes have been burnt down.

The situation doesn’t look good at all.
