Eaton Fire Threatens Mount Wilson's Critical Communications; Observatory Evacuated
Jan 9, 2025, 08:16 PM
The Eaton Fire in California has reached Mount Wilson in the San Gabriel Mountains, threatening critical communications infrastructure used by Los Angeles television and radio stations, including KCBS, KNBC, KTLA, KABC, and others. The fire is advancing rapidly up the mountain, with flames reaching the telecommunication towers and a 1-2 acre spot fire starting across the paved road. The historic Mount Wilson Observatory, located atop the peak above the San Gabriel Valley, has been evacuated due to the approaching flames. Ground crews are engaged, and aerial support has been reported incoming to combat the fire. Authorities report that, so far, the communication towers and observatory have not been impacted by the fire. The situation remains critical as the fire could impact essential broadcast and emergency communication systems, including those used by first responders.
