The Saddleridge Fire, which started Thursday, has destroyed 31 homes and burned more than 7,500 acres, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
The blaze is now 19% contained and thousands of evacuees were allowed to return home after evacuation orders were lifted Saturday.
The fire started around 9 p.m. local time Thursday and jumped the 210 and 5 freeways, and some parts of the roads were closed in both directions as orange embers lit up the night sky. By late Thursday it had gutted 60 acres; but some four hours later, it had grown to 4,600 acres, fire officials said.
