The Powerhouse Fire burning in the Angeles National Forest northwest of Los Angeles sends up a huge plume of smoke Saturday. The blaze threatened power lines Saturday after prompting mandatory evacuation orders in the community of Green Valley a day earlier. The evacuation order was lifted later Friday. Firefighters continued to work toward gaining control on the 3,600-acre fire with high heat in the forecast Saturday.
