This fire in Griffith Park, backing down flanks, will likely burn about 50 acres. The smallest of three burning within 25 miles. #griffith #fire. Protecting the LA City zoo is the priority atm.
The Woolsey Fire, about 15 miles to the West, has forced the mandatory evacuation of Malibu. 15,000 acres burned. 30,000 people moved from their homes. Thousands more fleeing along the Pacific Coast Highway. “Extreme fire behavior with rapid spread.”
Strike teams from @LAFD and @LACOFD are being moved down to the coast to protect homes. Containing the spread of the fire isn’t impossible anymore. The wind is too intense and the fire has spread rapidly. Dozens of homes have already been destroyed.
What fighting these fires sounds like ... #WoosleyFire
Look at all these air resources - more than a dozen helicopters and tankers — trying to slow the #WoolseyFire
