A fire burning at San Gabriel Canyon above Azusa on Sunday, September 10, forced the evacuation of visitors at the popular recreation area and the closure of Highway 39, local media reported.
This video, filmed on a GoPro by Bryan Sasquatch Jeffrey at around 1 pm, shows firefighters climbing up the steep slope.
Dubbed the Fork Fire, the blaze broke out shortly before noon, moving north to northeast as authorities deployed fire crew and air tankers to the scene. It had scorched around 60 acres and stood at 0 percent containment as of the evening.
