There's a brush fire in Griffith Park. KNBC is reporting that 80 members of a ground crew responded to a brush fire in the hills above Griffith Park at about 1:30 p.m. today. The fire is located in a difficult-to-access area between Roosevelt Golf Course and the 5 Freeway on the east end of the park. Firefighters are also battling high temperatures, winds and low humidity
Updates to be posted soon. Pics available after the jump.
Photos & video taken by Friend of LAist, Rob Takata, while he was gadding about town for his usual three-martini lunch.




At 2:15 I was at Santa Monica and La Brea looking at the Griffith Observatory. The fire looked like it was approaching the observatory. I took some pics but don't know how to post them.
