CBSN
What started as a brush fire in Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills burned more than 40 acres of vegetation and threatened major landmarks. The fire also kicked off another wave of evacuation orders and warnings for some city residents.
The blaze, known as the Sunset Fire, was reported to fire officials Wednesday evening, CBS Los Angeles reported. Water-dropping helicopters and ground crews worked to extinguish the flames through the night.
Around midnight local time, emergency public information provider Unified LA said "firefighters are making progress on the fire," but a Cal Fire update from around 5 a.m. local time said the blaze was still 0% contained. CBS Los Angeles reported Thursday morning that firefighters had stopped the "rapid spread" of the fire.
