LOS ANGELES (AP) — A wildfire erupted Friday afternoon in the hills above the Sepulveda Pass on the east side of Interstate 405 amid blistering heat near the Getty Center art museum.

The fire was grown from about 10 acres to 40 acres in less than an hour Friday afternoon, but tall, bright orange flames had given way to thin white smoke, according to fire spokesman Cecil Manresa.
