7 Reasons to Love L.A.
125 firefighters and five water-dropping helicopters are attacking a fire that is being fanned by 10 MPH winds.
Captain Antoine McKnight was on KCAL news a few minutes ago saying that approximately 30 acres have burned. The Griffith Park Zoo, the golf course, the observatory, the boys camp, the merry-go-round, the magnet school, the Gene Autry museum have all been evacuated.
Later when pushed by KCAL anchors, he pushed the estimate of damage to 30-50 acres.
Currently the 5 freeway is still open but we suggest you consider other routes depending on how this fire progresses as we get closer to rush hour.
This is being called a "brush fire" but there are trees, bushes, and brush that are aflame. It's a fire. No houses have been damaged yet, but it's a real fire.
An arson suspect with serious burns has been captured, officials say.

Per the Times, Its at 100 acres now, and the suspect is being treated for burn wounds at a local hospital -idiot.
What a total dipshit.
After they are done bacteening his wounds, they need to sentence him to years of community service, restoring the park and planting trees.
What is wrong with people?
It would be interesting to see what accounts they will charge him with, as the damages are so extensive.
Again from the times:
"It was a wall of fires," said Los Angeles Councilman Tom LaBonge, who witnessed the fire getting close to the merry-go-round. "It was overwhelming. It is going down in heavy, thick brush that hasn't burned in years.… It hurts to see the beauty of the park get scraped down."
Just stop it - enough already.
This is a blog. You can't begin to cover it like the pros.
Stop embarrassing youselves. We're watching the TV.
at 11:17pm - 7 hours we posted this you tell us to stop?
stop what? stop telling you what we saw 7 hours ago when you were not here?
you have one thing right, it is a blog. but its also a blog with ads, which makes it a pro blog.
and this pro blog is designed to tell the story about LA. today this was the big story so we had lots of pics, a few videos and a few stories.
therefore, whatever weird concept that you have that we are not one of the pros, or that we should write about something other than what goes down in LA is as retarded as your comment.
feel free to remove your head from your ass and go troll somewhere else.
You're paid? What, a penny a click?
If this blog is paid, then your sponsors are getting ripped off.
