VIDEO: The Bobcat Fire — now one of the largest in Los Angeles County history — showed no signs of easing up Monday as it continues to threaten the Antelope Valley, where it has burned homes and forced thousands of people to flee. The fire as of Monday morning was 105,345 acres in size and just 15% contained.
Winds continued to fan the flames as officials warned that the north end of the fire would continue to spread from the Antelope Valley foothills into the communities of Juniper Hills, Valyermo and Big Pine.
Several homes have burned in the Antelope Valley’s Juniper Hills, although the exact number was not confirmed. The Nature Center in the Devil’s Punchbowl Natural Area was also destroyed. L.A. County will host a virtual community meeting Monday on the YouTube page it has set up specifically about the Bobcat Fire. The webcast is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
