This aerial view of the Getty Fire (at 11:30am on Monday, October 28, 2019) is a great illustration of the complex mix of land use and landscape heterogeneity that confront our fire professionals in this era of ever more and ever larger wind-driven firestorms.

This video was from KTLA’s Sky 5 helicopter over the MountainGate Golf Course in the Sepulveda Pass area of the Santa Monica Mountains.  This Getty Fire ignited sometime after 1:30am this morning near the Getty Center and began its march south and westward from the 405 Freeway.
