Spectators watch as a fireman hoses down flames from a forest fire in Glendale's Verdugo Woodlands and Rossmoyne sections. 2500 acres burned but the firemen were able to keep the blaze from damaging any of the nearby homes. Firemen battled the flames for ten hours and dealt with high winds, which made the situation more dangerous
