The Saddleridge fire made a destructive march Friday in the northern foothills of the San Fernando Valley, burning numerous homes, closing two freeways and forcing thousands to flee.

The fire, which started in Sylmar, is moving rapidly to the west toward Porter Ranch and other communities.

Mandatory evacuations were issues to a huge swath of neighborhoods north of the 118 Freeway from Tampa Avenue all the way to the Ventura County line -- an area covering 100,000 residents. No injuries were reported.

The blaze was moving so far that it jumped into neighborhoods before firefighters and police could warn residents.
