'Crews get a handle on the Sunset fire in the Hollywood Hills'

[speak easy]

The Sunset fire began burning in the Hollywood Hills between Runyon Canyon and Wattles Park on Wednesday evening, Jan. 8. By around 10:45 p.m., aerial firefighting tactics and aggressive firefighting on the ground allowed firefighters to get a handle on the fire, according to CBS Los Angeles.

The majority of an evacuation order was lifted just before midnight, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.

The exception was the area north of Franklin Avenue from Camino Palmero Street (East border) to North Sierra Bonita Avenue (West border).

“This area remains closed until Thursday morning due to continued LAFD operations ensuring no flare ups in the vegetation surrounding these streets. Residents are asked to be cautious when returning to their homes because firefighters are continuing to work in their neighborhoods,” LAFD said on its website.
