Fire CAN burn downhill under some conditions. I've seen it do so at night when the humidity was very low. During the day, the air flows upslope, kind of like a chimney effect. At night, the process reverses as the air cools. Normally, as the air cools, the humidity rises, and the fire will "lay down" at night, so you won't see it burning too actively. However, under very dry conditions, it can burn downhill.

Thanks for your report!
KFI reporting that 100 feet flames coming toward the multi-million dollars houses near Chatsworth. They have a lot of fire equipment there in the development trying to stop the fire.
Who is the stupid mayor of LA -- what a Clymer -- sounds like he is talking about a football team when he talks about firefighters.
