L.A. Firefighters Battle Huge Brush Fire in Bel-Air

Normally idyllic and ritzy Bel-Air looks totally apocalyptic now as a massive brush fire is raging in the hills.

More than 200 L.A. firefighters were on the scene early Wednesday morning near the 405 Freeway as a wildfire scorched at least 50 acres. The brush fire broke out just after midnight in the Sepulveda Pass … near the famous Getty Center museum.

By 3 AM, L.A. fire officials said they’d made significant progress, although 2 firefighters who helped with the battle were injured and treated at the scene.

There’s some relief in sight for firefighters too … though L.A. temperatures are in the 90s now… they’re expected too cool off heading into the weekend.

Still, this Bel-Air blaze is eerily similar to the one that raged out of control back in December 2017. As we reported … that fire burned just steps away from famous homes and the BILLIONS of dollars worth of art inside the Getty Center.
