Homes burn in Los Angeles wildfire

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti says some homes have burned in a wildfire on the city's west side but so far there haven’t been extensive losses.

The fire erupted early this morning in the Sepulveda Pass, which carries Interstate 405 through the Santa Monica Mountains.

The mayor says the fire is believed to have grown to about 400 acres pushed by winds from 15-20 mph.

Fire Department Capt. Erik Scott says about 3,300 homes are threatened in the Mountaingate and Mandeville Canyon areas but mandatory evacuation orders have expanded southwestward.
