Wildfire continues to burn in Angeles National Forest [Updated]
August 26, 2009 | 7:37 am
[Updated at 9:22 a.m.: The fire has grown to 750 acres.]
Crews are continuing today to battle a 600-acre wildfire in the Angeles National Forest that is being fanned by bone-dry conditions and high temperatures and filling the skies above the L.A. Basin with thick, gray smoke.
The Morris fire, which began Tuesday afternoon near the Morris Dam north of Azusa, was 10% contained this morning, said Bryan Webb, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department. It forced the evacuation of campers and an 18-member Boy Scout troop, which was rescued by a helicopter crew.
The blaze is in steep terrain and burning mostly brush and chaparral. The National Weather Service has issued a red-flag warning for mountain areas in Los Angeles County, and the county Fire Department is beefing up hillside-area fire units. Weather officials expect temperatures to reach into the triple digits in the valleys today.

The Fire is just a part of Angeles Crest National forest which stretches from santa clarita being the west, palmdale being the backside, and the 210 being the front side all the way from the santa clarita area down to the 15, not really sure if lake arrowhead/big bear are considered a part of angeles crest
edit: so the fire is north of azusa which is a good 10 miles from ACH though there was a small fire locally yesterday I think
