SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — The huge wildfire burning for nearly two weeks northwest of Los Angeles continues to grow.

California fire officials say that as of early Friday the blaze has scorched more than 394 square miles.

The inferno began Dec. 4 in Ventura County and spread into Santa Barbara County, destroying more than 970 homes and other structures as it became the fourth-largest wildfire in California history.

A 32-year-old firefighter working the fire was killed Thursday, but officials haven’t released any information about the circumstances.
