Griffith Park Fire

So only a couple days after my official move to Silver Lake. I'm grabbing a bite to eat with Kris and Chip on Hillhurst Ave a couple blocks down from Griffith Park.. As we're seated for dinner, the fire that had begun a few hours before was, according to the local news, contained and out of danger for the local homes. Half way through our meal, the flames were now rolling up and over the hills of Griffith Park and the Fire Dept started evacuating the wealthy residents of the area. People started gathering on the streets and before long camera crews and local news stations were on the scene. At this point it seemed like several homes were going up in smoke and there was no stopping this raging fire now. To the total disbelief of many, the FD was able to contain the fire and save all the homes. In the end 800 hectares were burnt and the park was reduced ashes. Check out the pictures above.
