SANTA CLARITA, CA - SEPTEMBER 3: Firefighters of the Blue Ridge Hotshots crew from the Coconino National Forest in Arizona clear trees and brush along the road and near 15 to 20 homes where mandatory orders were implemented before sunrise as a flare-up on the western front of the 226-square-mile Station Fire threatens to send the fire into the Dillon Divide near Pacoima Canyon on September 3, 2009 near Santa Clarita, California. Two firefighters died when their truck rolled off an 800-foot drop-off as they fled advancing flames and three other people were injured by the fire. Nearly 20 percent of the Angeles National Forest has been charred and 62 homes have been destroyed. The fire is now 38 percent contained, up from 28 percent yesterday. The Station Fire is reportedly the largest in Los Angeles County history. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
