Firefighters control California blaze

WRIGHTWOOD, Calif. (AP) - A wildfire that blackened more than 11 square miles of brush and timber and destroyed at least five structures is now under control.

U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Miller says firefighters gained full control of the Sheep Fire on Saturday night.

Residents who were evacuated after the blaze broke out Oct. 3 have since returned to their homes. The general public is being kept out of the burned area, however, because hot spots remain.

Miller says the public probably won't be allowed to return for several weeks.

The cause of the fire, which broke out near a popular resort area 70 miles northeast of Los Angeles, is under investigation.
