2 edits | Continuous Live Feed From ABC Choppers of Station Fire Station Fire expands to 7,500 acres, evacuations begin in Altadena
Mandatory evacuations ordered in La Vina neighborhood
LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE -- An explosive fire that burned through 30-foot high brush and forced hundreds of evacuations continued to grow Saturday, torching 7500 acres in an area that hasn't burned in 60 years, officials said.
As firefighters attempted to get a handle on it, the Station Fire fanned out in several directions while relative humidy remained low and temperatures hovered near triple-digits. Meanwhile mandatory evacuations were ordered in Altadena Saturday morning in the 260-home La Vina neighborhood.
Flames that shot 80-feet into the sky left a plume of smoke visible throughout the Los Angeles Basin Saturday. "If there is a silver lining it's that there is no Santa Ana winds predicted at this point," said Mike Dietrich, incident commander for the U.S. Forest Service.
The flames forced a partial closure of the Jet Propulsion Labratory, officials there said.
"As a precautionary measure, the Laboratory's Oak Grove site has been closed," says a JPL Web site. "will remain closed throughout the weekend except for essential personnel. Non-essential personnel will not be allowed on-Lab.
"If it had enough power to jump the Angeles Crest Highway it could do anything," said Mohammad Mojarradi, 51, a La Canada resident who was watching the fire burn two-blocks from his home on Starlight Crest Drive.

Re: Continuous Live Feed From ABC Choppers of Station Fire Took these at 7pm from Allen O. Huston Park, Windsor Hills.
Looks like it's getting much worse, What is the current status of this fire? In one of the shots, a flame line from the bottom to the top South face of the mountain is clearly visible. In another, more to the West...behind the "Hollywood" sign (which is barely visible), the flames are very high as I must be 45 or 50 miles away as the crow flies. |

Re: Continuous Live Feed From ABC Choppers of Station Fire said by L.A. Times--> »news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090831/ts_···ires_115 :
Two firefighters die in growing LA wildfire
LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, California (Reuters) – The five-day-old wildfire burning out of control in the Los Angeles foothills and forest claimed its first victims on Sunday, two firefighters whose vehicle plummeted off the side of a road.
The fire scorched 7,000 more acres since day break for a total burned area of 42,500 acres. The flames threaten 10,000 homes and are encroaching on the region's telecommunications nerve center. At least 18 homes have been destroyed.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger rushed back from Sen. Edward Kennedy's funeral to survey the state's worst fire, warning residents to heed evacuation orders for the "very dangerous" blaze.
Flames could be seen stretching 15 miles above the heavily populated foothills, where an estimated 2,000 homes were under evacuation. Smoke mushroomed into huge clouds, some 20,000 feet high and visible from hundreds of miles away.
"What we have seen today was extreme fire behavior once again," Fire Commander Mike Dietrich said. "But there were excellent saves made in the foothill communities, some darn good firefighting."
The two dead firefighters were from Los Angeles County Fire and had been working deep in the Angeles National Forest Sunday afternoon when their vehicle careened down a slope.
