October 13, 2008 Chatsworth, CA Sesnon Fire

A large brush fire spread quickly down Oat Mountain, midday on this Monday.  Santa Ana winds were gusting from 40 to 50 mph in Chatsworth and in the Santa Susanna Mountains.  I lugged my camera equipment to Chatsworth to get some shots.  There was a lot of smoke, a lot of traffic, a lot of police and fire engines.  I got in and got out, as I had to work later that afternoon.
