		</div><p>Light winds and scattered thundershowers early on Thursday helped to calm the flames of a huge wildfire that has prompted evacuations north of Los Angeles.</p>
<p>Firefighters were hoping to rein in the blaze before temperatures spike later in the day.</p>
<p>An enormous plume of smoke was visible across much of southern California after the fire broke out on Wednesday afternoon in dense forest land.</p>
<p>The blaze exploded in size within hours, including some areas that have not burned since 1968, fire officials said.</p>
<p>By nightfall, the flames had consumed more than 15.5 square miles of timber and shrubs. There was no containment.</p>
<p>About 100 rural homes were evacuated in the Lake Hughes area of the Angeles National Forest, about 60 miles north of LA.</p>
<p>Los Angeles County Deputy Fire Chief David Richardson said late on Wednesday that some outbuildings may have been destroyed.</p>
<p>Early morning TV news footage showed several structures reduced to ash.</p>
<p>The area is expected to have temperatures of about 35C on Thursday and higher through the weekend.</p>
