At 4:30 p.m., the winds along Crystal Springs Drive were kicking up again as water-dropping helicopters whirled overhead. Los Angeles City Fire Engineer Al Heredig watched as his strike team battled the blaze, shooting streams of water up into the burning hillside.

‘The steep terrain, that’s tough,’ he said.

No homes or structures were threatened and no injuries were reported, he said.
