Firefighters scrambled to protect thousands of homes from a wildfire racing through brush-covered mountains north of Los Angeles on Friday that caused hundreds of evacuations and burned 21 structures.

The blaze, dubbed the Lake Fire, swelled to over 17,000 acres , forcing up to 1,500 people from their houses after erupting on Wednesday afternoon in the Angeles National Forest.

“We saw extreme fire conditions,” Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman Frank Garrido said of the operation in steep canyons aided by firefighting helicopters. No casualties were reported but the blaze threatened 5,420 homes and other structures in communities about 40 miles north of downtown Los Angeles where residents have been told to prepare for possible evacuations over the weekend, Garrido said.
