Fire in Universal Studios
Fire broke out on a back lot filled with a number of movie sets at Universal Studios earlier this week. A suffocating haze of thick black smoke rose as the fire ravaged several buildings. No injuries have been reported. Los Angeles County fire Inspector Daryl Jacobs said at least one building had burned and as many as three blocks of movie facades were destroyed. Though the fire was contained, it was still raging, Jacobs said.
The massive fire is beleived to have started on a sound stage just before dawn at around 4:00 a.m. It was quite a while before the fire police was informed, fire Capt. Frank Reynoso said. A thick column of smoke rose thousands of feet into the air as fire-fighting helicopters swept in to drop water. More than 100 firefighters were working to ensure the flames didn't spread to nearby brush, Reynoso said.
