Fire officials point to steep terrain and changing winds as two of many factors making the wildfire east of Los Angeles especially challenging.
LOS ANGELES — For more than a week, the typically blue sky above the Angeles National Forest was hidden behind a thick veil of gray smoke. Mountains usually visible for miles could barely be seen up close.and dry brush untouched by flames for more than 60 years, the Bobcat Fire continues to elude firefighters two weeks after it erupted in the San Gabriel Mountains.
“Five of the top 20 fires to ever burn in the state of California are burning right now in Northern California, which has challenged us in getting some of the resources here that we would normally get,” Osby said Friday."The fire behavior that we're getting in this fire and throughout the state of California is unprecedented.”
