The fast-growing Woolsey fire in Los Angeles and Ventura counties in Southern California has now expanded to at least 70,000 acres with zero containment, officials said on Nov. 10.
Around 250,000 people have evacuated and at least 150 homes destroyed. Two people have also been founded dead in the burned area, although their official cause of death has not been confirmed.

A structure on the property of the Bachelor Mansion, which served as the set for the hit reality show "The Bachelor" was also reportedly damaged, while some media announced the mansion itself had burned.
"The area has been closed to traffic so we do not know the current status of the home. It is primarily a private residence, and our main concern is with the family who has been displaced, their neighbors, and all the communities impacted by this tragic fire. We thank the tireless efforts of the first responders here in Los Angeles County and across the State."
However, reporter Chris Woodyard posted a photo on Twitter on Nov. 10, saying the main house was still standing, while the house next door had burned to the ground.
