Stevenson Ranch - Evacuations:
Homeowners are being evacuated from the area
just north of Stevenson Ranch off Valencia Boulevard and The Old Road, says Sgt. Darren Harris of the Santa Clarita Sheriff's Station.
He says it is unclear if the fire, which is burning right up to the back yards of various homes with smoke billowing over the area, is an offshoot of an existing blaze or an entirely new fire. There was no immediate word on the number of people being evacuated.
