Argh, this is going to spread to all the other traffic arteries, even to here in WLA...

Thankfully, home is not too far and I know the back streets.

Oh no! Can you let me know if they reopen it by 6pm? I don't leave until 6pm, but if it's still closed, I'm sure I'll find another route home.

If I remember correctly, the Hollywood Sign has burned and been rebuilt more than once before, so it's no big deal. The houses, and the people in them, are the big deal up there and that's what the firefighters are trained to protect.

Every morning (weather permitting) I look off my back deck and see those faces carved in stone for perpetuity. They are my inspiration.......and give me hope.

Crews said the fire was contained at about 4 p.m., but firefighters are responding to hotspots.

No structures have burned.

I really do hope that everybody can get out of its way safely.

On the other hand, how symbolic it would be to see the Hollywood sign burn.
