For the third day, firefighters battled the erratic blaze that is burning in areas of Burbank, Glendale and Sunland-Tujunga.
The blaze has scorched about 5,800 acres and remains at 10 percent contained.
While evacuation orders have been lifted in most areas of Burbank, most remain in place in the other cities.
More than 700 homes were evacuated Saturday and the 210 Freeway remains closed.
About 800 firefighters are working to control the flames.
The blaze, which is now the largest in Los Angeles history, according to Mayor Eric Garcetti, began about 1:30 p.m. Friday in a drainage along the north side of La Tuna Canyon Road, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Garcetti declared a local emergency surrounding the incident Sunday evening.
