PALMDALE, Calif. - Aircraft and about 500 firefighters attacked a river of flame running through grassy hills northeast of Los Angeles Friday as residents of about 1,000 homes waited to see if the blaze is kept away.

The wildfire in the Antelope Valley has burned at least three outbuildings, and homes in Leona Valley and Anaverde were still evacuated.

A mandatory evacuation for another 1,000 homes in Rancho Vista was canceled early Friday after the flames stopped at the California Aqueduct, with the concrete channel acting as a natural firebreak on the fire's eastern edge, Los Angeles County fire Inspector Matt Levesque said.

ASHBURN, Va. - Albert Haynesworth has failed his conditioning test for a second consecutive day and is being forced to sit out practice again at Washington Redskins training camp.

Haynesworth did not pass the test Friday morning, in a repeat of his result Thursday, Day 1 of camp.

Haynesworth boycotted the team's offseason workouts and minicamps because he is unhappy with the Redskins' switch to a 3-4 defense and wanted a trade.
