An afternoon brush fire in Griffith Park forced
the evacuation of more than 2,000 people from the Griffith Observatory and
prompted the closing of major streets into the park before firefighters were
able to contain most of the blaze. Hose lines were around the fire
The fire, which began shortly after 2 pm
northwest of the observatory, blackened about 25 acres, according to
the L.A. Fire Department. Officials said about 200 firefighters managed
to stop the blaze from advancing about 90 minutes after it began but have not
yet declared it knocked down. The fire was described as being 90% contained before
8 pm. scene to look for hot spots.
