The fire has come within 100 yards of the historic merry-go-round, prompting fire officials to scramble more resources there.

‘It was a wall of fires,’ said L.A. City Councilman Tom LaBonge, who witnessed the fire getting close to the merry-go-round. ‘It was overwhelming. It is going down in heavy, thick brush that hasn’t burned in years... It hurts to see the beauty of the park get scrapped down.’
