Update: 11:02 PM PST: report from someone who went up to the Baldwin overlook hill indicates this fire is south and not in the field.
--
The sky southwest of Culver City has an ominous glow this morning yet no official news has been released about a fire that seems to be somewhere over the Inglewood Oil Fields / Baldwin Hills.
Neighbors report hearing many firetrucks around 6:30 am and again about an hour later.
The two photos show a shot from the end of La Salle Ave. Shooting slightly southeast shows a typical appearance. The shot southwest shows a thick cloud of smoke hovering over the hills.
I attempted to call the non-emergency number for the Culver City fire department when I could not find any news online about a fire in this area but it went to voicemail.
If anyone has more information please add to the comments.
