Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Access to this collection is generously supported by Haynes Foundation funds. A wide road spans the width of the bottom edge, entering frame from the left and veering back to the right. It curves right and then cuts back to the left towards a tunnel. The tunnel stands in the distance, just left-of-center. Two cars are parked in the middle of the road in the near distance, off-center to the right. A few people can be seen traversing the road. Along the left edge, a hillside rises. Smoke billows from the near hillside. Hillsides stretch across the background at center and right. The fire's burn line stretches horizontally across the hills. A cloud of dark smoke hovers over the area at left and thins as it extends to the right. A photograph taken on the same occasion appears with the article, "GRIFFITH PARK FIRE HAVOC CHECKED IN HARD BATTLE: One Killed and Many Hurt Before Weary Army Subdues Blaze; Loss Total Runs High," Los Angeles Times, 21 Dec. 1929: A1 Text from negative sleeve: LOS ANGELES PARKS, GRIFFITH PARK, FIRE, 1929 [handwritten on attached note:] 1 discolored (try to scan)
