Overnight water drops helped stop the spread of a huge wildfire churning through rugged mountains north of Los Angeles and firefighters battled to increase containment as dangerous winds whipped up again.The Hughes Fire broke out on Wednesday and in less than a day had charred nearly 41 square kilometres of trees and brush near Castaic Lake, a popular recreation area about 40km from the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires that are burning for a third week.There was no growth overnight and crews were jumping on flare-ups to keep the flames within containment lines, fire spokesman Jeremy Ruiz said on Thursday (Friday AEDT).
