Hundreds of firefighters gained ground Sunday against a wildfire in Los Angeles County that forced at least 5,000 people to evacuate their homes, authorities said.
All evacuation orders will be lifted Sunday evening, Los Angeles County Deputy Fire Chief John Tripp said.
Since the inferno started Saturday, it has already scorched more than 500 acres, Tripp said.
The fire was raging on the slope of a canyon, "which makes it very dangerous for us to do a direct attack," Tripp said.
