Fire Engineering Newsletter- Los Angeles fires

Usually when we think of fires in L.A., it is those brush fires roaring through canyons, etc. (Oh, some brush DID burn eventually because of this fire! Still L.A. after all).

What's happening now are very urban style fires..

The Late News was full of stories about the L.A. fires, but the 
Fire Engineering report is unfortunately not really from a FF's point of view, but is just typical reportage from the Associated Press.

I think the photograph by itself makes this worth posting, though.
