Fire Swpet Through Universal City/Burbank on Friday


Those of you in other parts of the nation may not have heard, but it was big news in LA on Friday. A large brush fire set by two kids swept through the hills between Universal City and Burbank. The Fire was put out by the evening and I believe no one was hurt. The view from Zoic was amazing and surreal at the same time. One person said it looked like the apocalypse and another said it looked like our shots from 24. Craziness!!!
