Sand fire. More than 37,000 acres burnes in Santa Clarita valley mountains.

            Yesterday early afternoon I took this image from my window. Every 3 minutes the helicopters with retardant and water went back and forth to put this fire off and so they did.

The effort to control the raging Sand fire in the Santa Clarita Valley mountains has drawn firefighters and emergency crews in the hills toward Acton. So far, the fire has burned 37,473 acres.

A total of 3,048 firefighters are battling the blaze, according to the U.S. Forest Service.

The wildfire prompted the evacuation of at least 10,000 homes, although late Monday, officials allowed most evacuees to return to their homes. The blaze is 25% contained. At least 18 homes have been destroyed.

The majority of the estimated 20,000 people evacuated from the Sand fire will be allowed to return home tonight, fire officials said.

The downgrade of evacuations comes as the fire grew Monday to 35,155 acres and remained 10% contained, according to the Los Angeles County fire department.
