The largest of the two blazes, the Woolsey Fire, grew to 85,500 acres on Sunday after spreading south from Simi Valley in Ventura County to Agoura Hills in Los Angeles County, where the flames jumped the 101 Freeway and continued burning toward the Malibu area. That stretch of the freeway was shut down in both directions on Friday and remained so through the weekend.

The fire grew over 10 times in size from Friday morning when it was just 8,000 acres to Saturday evening. It grew 2.5 times larger in just 24 hours Saturday.

Two deaths at a residence in Los Angeles County were blamed on the Woolsey Fire, according to Cal Fire.

Despite the growth on Saturday, conditions were expected to worsen over the weekend and into Monday. Extremely critical fire danger exists for the mountains between San Diego and Los Angeles with winds whipping as high as 70 mph.

A small number of evacuation orders were lifted in the Simi Valley area late Saturday, but 170,000 residents were evacuated at the fire’s height. More than 50,000 homes were evacuated.

The massive blaze was still only 15 percent contained Sunday evening, though over 800 firefighting personnel were working around the clock to quell the flames, according to Cal Fire.
