The Station Fire, currently burning out of control in the La Canada area of the Angeles National Forest, is rapidly approaching the communications towers of Mt. Wilson.
Most firefighters have been pulled from the area, and though some crews are still working to clear the brush around the historic Mt. Wilson observatory, officials say they expect the fire to reach the area within the next few hours.
Why such a big deal?
Mt. Wilson is home to almost all radio, television, cell phone, national security, and police communication towers in the city of L.A.
Best get your tweeting done now, kids. You may not get a chance later tonight.
