The firefighters are trying to control the fire that has already spread to L.A.Basin and San Bernardino County. There are two fires on the San Gabriele Mountains, northeast of L.A. The fire is raging towards the western side of the La Canada Flintridge City. The fire broke at 3:20pm on the Angeles Crest Highway. “Its pretty bad the smoke. Once I stepped out of the door I could smell it,” said Natacha Cuvelier, a student at the University of Southern California, L.A.

Sam Atwood, a spokesman of the South Coast Air Quality Management District told sources that the smoke would worsen in the days to come as per his experience. It was also a major concern since there was no sea breeze in the area. There has been do damage to life or property due to the two fires.

A forest service spokesman Jim Wilkins told sources that the “fire was doing pretty much what it wanted to” and that it was burning “freely”.

An emergency evacuation was made on the Williams Camp a resort on the banks of the San Gabriele River.

At least 25 acres of land has been completely damaged due to the fire as per the latest broadcasts. The area has not seen a fire since 25 years and was bone-dry which is why the fire seemed to be raging uncontrollably.
