LOS ANGELES - Firefighters made progress early Wednesday against a wildfire blazing over Dante's View in the brush-covered hills behind the city's iconic Griffith Observatory. Animals at the nearby Los Angeles Zoo were moved indoors, and dozens of homes were evacuated

Geez, 40 Homes and buildings lost!!!!

Animals at the Zoo would still smell the smoke and panic, even in sheltered areas. Poor buggers. It's in their nature to panic at the smell of smoke. I hated seeing the animals panic here when we had our bushfire! Good that the Observatory survived, but not good for the home owners.

Thanks for the article Arthur.

A timely reminder for those of us in the Rural Fire Services around the country to keep attending our training sessions even though it's coming into Winter.
It's only 5 months until our fire season starts again.
