KCAL reports 130 firefighters were called to battle the flames which they were able to knock down in two hours. Crews had to use chainsaws to cut through areas of the Spanish-style roof. The guesthouse meanwhile was safe. So Drama still has a place to crash.
But the wildfires near the San Gabriel Mountains are still burning fiercely. The Station Fire, as it's been dubbed, has doubled in size to 85,000 acres today and claimed the life of two firefighters. The historic Mt. Wilson astronomical observatory on Mount Wilson--which at one point held the world's largest telescope-- is in harm's way as are a bunch of communications towers which could affect Los Angeles International Airport if consumed by the fires. The cause of the Station Fire is still being investigated but the triple-digit heat is not helping.
