Los Angeles firefighters said no homes burned from the Sunset fire, which occurred near Runyon Canyon and sparked a momentary evacuation order for Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills.
Los Angeles firefighters have made big gains in battling the Sunset fire, which had triggered mandatory evacuation orders in Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills late Wednesday. “It’s a miracle that no homes burned here,” one firefighter told The Times. Hours earlier, the flames had approached the mansions that line North Curson Avenue. By 10:30 p.m., flames were barely visible on the distant hillside.
It took them two hours amid the chaos to drive to Glendale, but David stayed and got out his hose. “A friend lost his house this morning in Altadena and I figured I would stay until the last minute,” he said. He packed up his truck with essentials and started spraying his house and yard. For a while, no help arrived. “Right as I was about to throw in the towel, two helicopters came,” he said. They dropped water and he saw a white cloud of steam which sent embers flying everywhere.
