A helicopter makes a water drop in a Granada Hills neighborhood at the Sesnon fire north of Los Angeles October 14, 2008. The Sesnon fire at the northern edge of the heavily populated San Fernando Valley doubled in size, to nearly 10,000 acres (4,050 hectares), as storm-force Santa Ana winds howled through the bone-dry brush of canyons and foothills overnight.
