Sylmar fire burns 2,600 acres; 10,000 residents ordered to evacuate

The Santa Barbara fires along the coastal foothills was bad enough, but now the fires have spread with wind gusts of 70 mph ripping through Northern San Fernando Valley overnight and into this morning. The fire managed to leap across the 210 and 5 freeways causing more damage and confusion.
