One of the homes destroyed by the Woolsey fire

Containment is now up to 69% for the massive Woolsey brush fire in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, the fire which has destroyed more than 600 structures.

The fire has burned 98,000 acres of land since starting November 7th. An end to Santa Ana wind conditions is helping efforts by the army of nearly 4,000 fire personnel stop the massive blaze.

Three deaths are being blamed on the fire.

The hope is the blaze will be fully contained on Sunday.
