Title:		2008 Sayre Fire
Date:		Wednesday November 14, 2012
Time:		11:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Location:		Los Angeles County
Notes:		At about this time in 2008 a fire started in the hills on the northern margin of Sylmar in the Northern San Fernando Valley. Santa Ana Winds with gusts of up to hurricane intensity fanned the fire into adjacent neighborhoods where it consumed 480 of the 600 mobile homes in the nearby Oakridge Mobile Home Park. It also consumed nine single-family homes, ten commercial structures and 104 outbuildings. Over the next 24 hours it covered 11,262 acres. This fire holds the distinction of burning the most homes in Los Angeles City history beating out the old record of 484 homes previously held by the Bel Aire Fire of 1961.
