VIDEO: Griffith Park fire observed
When I arrived at the command center this morning at 6:00 am, 600 acres of Griffith Park had burned. The Times and the LAFD now say it's over 800. For a look at what it's like below a fire department chopper dumping tons of water, watch the video. Also featured: Griffith Park-area City Councilman Tom LaBonge, LAPD Chief Bill Bratton, and LAFD Captain Carlos Calvillo.
My cameraman Tommy Macker also shot some stills today. The first picture is me after being soaked by a water drop. More on Tommy's Flickr page.
