* About 2,000 homes under mandatory evacuation orders
* Governor Schwarzenegger says fire "out of control"

* Fire 5 percent contained, 10,000 homes threatened

* Fire threatens major communications facilities (Updates with quotes from residents, new numbers)

By Mary Milliken

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif., Aug 30 (Reuters) - A wildfire in the heavily populated Los Angeles foothills threatened 10,000 homes on Sunday, and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger warned residents to heed evacuation orders for the "out of control" and "very dangerous" blaze.

The heat-driven fire nearly doubled in size overnight and has now burned 35,000 acres (14,000 hectares) of thick, bone-dry brush in the mountains above five towns, a 12-mile (19 km) stretch from La Crescenta to La Canada Flintridge, the California Fire Department said.

Authorities have ordered residents to evacuate about 2,000 homes threatened by the fire about 15 miles (24 km) northeast of downtown Los Angeles.

"These fires are still totally out of control," Schwarzenegger told reporters at the firefighters' command post in Lake View Terrace, California. "This is a huge and is a very dangerous fire. The fire is moving very close to homes and to structures... this is why it's important to pay close attention to the evacuation."

In La Crescenta, the streets were deserted on Sunday afternoon except for a few residents fleeing with their suitcases and other belongings on foot.

Bob Sebesta, 47, sat watching the burning ridge from his in-laws' house, which everyone evacuated last night with pictures, paperwork and "stuff you can't replace."

"I keep thinking I should go water the backyard," Sebesta said.

Three remote homes have been destroyed so far and some 10,000 others and 2,500 other buildings are in danger, as is Mount Wilson, the nexus for key telecommunications facilities.

"That site is the nerve center for most of communication in the Los Angeles area," Station Fire Commander Mike Dietrich said. "It is not out of danger as we speak."

Fire commanders said at a news briefing that more than three homes were lost in the Big Tujunga canyon, though they did not know the exact number.

"We have eyewitness reports that our house is gone and as many as 30 may be lost," said Beth Halaas, who lives year-round in the canyon, where most homes are for weekend use. Continued...

There have always been fires out there. There just have been more as the population of California has exploded, triggering an equally great increase in human fresh water consumption straight from nature.

You are a dumbass.

Since The FRAUD of Global non-Warming sukks up over $5 bil per year from US Federal taxdollars alone for liars to "study" something clearly not happening - there is precisely no evidence of "warming" at all on planet Earth except on the surface of growing urban areas - there is NOT MONEY for desalination. Every additional Californian steals that much more fresh water from plants and wildlife. The result is dry plant "fuel" for these fires, and another chance for Algore to go out and stick his mug on TV and lie to us again, essentially celebrating this fire catastrophe by intentionally misdiagnosing the problem and preventing funding for the real solution, which is to leave the water in the acquifers, streams, lakes etc. and take ocean water and desalinate it. Many who have been caught starting these fires are from "environmental" groups, or really taxpayer leech groups dedicated to lying to us to continue to steal our money over this "warming" fraud.

suck it, n00b

An obvious product from the public school system, and the tax payers want their money back.

He's trying to convey the story behind "Cadillac Desert." At least that's my perspective of his argument.

The great American west migration wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the building of myriads of dams. These irrigation projects made it possible to farm in the West, but also came with environmental complexities and devastation.

I've read the book, it's a good read. Based on his comments, I think he's referring to the same book.

"Chinatown" is all about the water struggle in Los Angeles.

Part of that is right behind me: Lake Hollywood, built in 1932 and designed as part of the Mulholland Aqueduct system. It's actually a reservoir, not a lake.

Mulholland should be considered a hero to all of us in Southern California.

Except for when he killed 500 people in the Santa Clara damn disaster when it failed just hours after opening, effectively ending his career.
