Barham Fire Burning In North Hollywood Hills

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA — Hundreds of firefighters are working to contain a brush fire that broke out in North Hollywood on Saturday afternoon, just above Warner Brothers Studios.

The blaze, which authorities are calling the Barham Fire, had burned 34 acres and was 15 percent contained by 6:25 p.m. No formal evacuations were ordered, but the LAFD said it urged a few people living especially close to the fire to shelter in place and shut their windows because of the smoke.

One firefighter was hospitalized for non-life-threatening injuries he sustained during the firefight, the LAFD said. No structures have been threatened.

There were 236 fire personnel working on the fire, including five helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft, the LAFD said.

The fire was first reported around 1:52 p.m. on a hillside near the 3600 block of North Barham Boulevard, according to the LAFD.

Had to evac my studio at Warner Bros for the first time ever due to smoke from the #Barhamfire right behind the studio lot. WB is on total lockdown at the moment. pic.twitter.com/rymgZWMUg4
