Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch in the path of Santa Barbara wildfire...
From ABC News
Firefighters are continuing an uphill battle in Santa Barbara County, where the Lake Fire swelled to nearly 19,000 acres over the weekend.
The blaze was first reported on Friday at around 3:45 p.m. near Zaca Lake and Saint Lucia Road, according to Cal Fire.
After more than 48 hours, the fire has consumed 18,995 acres and remains just 8% contained with more than 600 firefighters currently engaged in the firefight. On top of ground units, 10 helicopters and numerous other water-dropping aircraft are assisting with the ongoing suppression efforts.
Among the homes threatened by the rapidly spreading flames is Michael Jackson's former residence, the famed Neverland Ranch, located in the 5000 block of Figueroa Mountain Road. He owned the 2,700-acre property from 1988 until his death in 2009.
