A fast-moving brush fire erupted Tuesday afternoon near homes in Burbank, leading to evacuation orders for residents above Bel Air Drive.
Plane enthusiast, Rose, captured the LAFD AW139s – 2, 3, and 5, – fighting the Bethany fire in Burbank alongside ground crews.
The flames rapidly spread across 8 to 10 acres of dry hillside, but firefighters contained the blaze by evening, with cleanup efforts ongoing for several hours.
Officials urged people to stay clear of the area while investigations into the fire’s cause are underway.
