Sylmar fire: An upclose look at a tragedy

But that's what happened at the Oakridge Mobile Home Park in Sylmar, where more than 500 homes were lost during this morning's fire. Joel Sappell, a deputy to L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, took a tour of the site this afternoon with top fire officials and shot some striking photos of destruction.
