Firefighters knock down flames as they advance on homes atop Shepherd Mesa Road in Carpinteria, Calif. on December 10, 2017. A flare-up on the western edge of Southern California's largest and most destructive wildfire sent residents fleeing Sunday, as wind-fanned flames churned through canyons and down hillsides toward coastal towns. Crews with help from water-dropping aircraft saved several homes as unpredictable gusts sent the blaze churning deeper into foothill areas northwest of Los Angeles that haven't burned in decades. New evacuations were ordered in Carpinteria, a seaside city in Santa Barbara County that has been under fire threat for days. (Photo by Mike Eliason/Santa Barbara County Fire Department via AP Photo)
