Dry brush, scorching heat and gusty winds fueled two wildfires Wednesday in Castaic, Ca and Agua Dulce, Ca.

Firefighters fought the Agua Dulce witch consumed 400 acres and burnt 3 homes.

This fire broke out around 2 P.M. Aprox 350 firefighters from LA County, Angeles National Forest (ANF) and other agencies fought this fire.

The second fire was in Castaic, along the Golden State Freeway, a line of 150 firefighters worked to save a mobile home park in the area.

The fire was aprox 400 acres and no injures were reported at any of the fires.

Water Dropping helicopters, CL-415 Super Scoopers, and Erickson Sky Crane helicopters were also working to help control the fire.

Authorities were not sure what sparked the Agua Dulce fire, the more damaging of the two blazes. But they believe a burning truck on the shoulder of the Golden State Freeway sparked the fire in Castac.
