CNN

Water-dropping helicopters and hundreds of firefighters are battling a blaze in Los Angeles County that has forced the evacuations of thousands of people, according to authorities.The wildfire, which broke out Saturday afternoon, has burned about 400 acres in and around Calabasas, a relatively affluent area which is home to a handful of celebrities, including the Kardashians, Jessica Simpson and Toni Braxton.

A truck struck a power pole om Mulholland Hwy. It was last noted at 15% contained.

More than 300 firefighters have been battling the blaze, according to Los Angeles Fire Captain Roland Sprewell.

One social media user said ash could be spotted as far away as Dodger Stadium, which is about 30 miles away.

I just hope for no fatalities.

Jessica Simpson and the Kardashians are in danger from fire?

Feel the burn.

Now , now, that's not nice.

Why is it that the self assured and entitled running from flames makes me giggle? It could be the dark side of me or maybe the thought that a little disaster to keep us humble is a good thing. No matter how fleeting.

Yes it is. If Kim Kardashian were on fire I would not pee on her.
