9/9/02 Big Brush Fire in Burbank Glendale hills

The hills behind my house were on fire!

This is the view from my house of the hills burning

The fire is moving closer

The flames were big and flaring up

First the helicopters arrived

Then the Super Scoopers showed up

Super Scoopers drop lots of water

Fixed wing aircraft even showed up

The skies were busy

These planes drop chemicals to stop the flames from spreading

This drop was to keep flames from spreading at night

I didn't feel scared anymore I wanted to be closer to the fire to check out the fire fighting equipment and take pictures, but I had to stay home. The fire fighting air attack stopped at night and the fire didn't spread much more because of the red chemicals, but the hills were orange with flames all night and the fire was out by the next evening.
