As I was walking back down the street from lunch today, the sky was dark with smoke coming over the Hollywood Hills. Turns out two youth near an apartment building on the other side of the hills had started a fire that spread FAST! It took off in no time at all and before all was said and done 130 acres burned. Many of the studios in Burbank were filled with smoke, freeway exits were closed. Anyone who was outside could only stop and stare at the smoke and fire. It came close to the HOLLYWOOD sign, but did not burn it. All in all, no homes were burned, and no people were injured or killed in the fire. It was all out in a few hours. The electricity did flicker a few times as the flames got into the high voltage eclectic lines that go over the Hollywood hills. It could have been much worse, but was a very dramatic day all in all!
