The fire, which is Los Angeles County's largest wildfire, is 38 percent contained and has burned 144,000 acres. 64 homes have been destroyed.

Though the LA Times has dubbed the Station Fire the largest fire in L.A. County history, the Cedar Fire remains the reigning champion in modern California state history.  It consumed more than 280,000 acres in 2003.

The Cedar Fire was designated "human-caused," a label the Station Fire briefly carried Tuesday before being retracted by U.S. Forest Service officials, said KNX1070 and LAist.

Meanwhile, the Glendale News Press reported that residents of La Crescenta are unhappy with local response to the fire, which they say included limited TV and Internet information and an erroneous order to evacuate their homes.

Officials will hold a community meeting in Pasadena tonight to update residents affected by the fire.

The government site InciWeb.org (hosted by the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, U.S. Fire Administration, and others) has been continuously posting detailed information on the fire and its path, including evacuation details.

The Station Fire has caused two firefighter deaths. On Wednesday night, one firefighter fractured his femur after falling 20 feet from a cliff.
