Bobcat fire containment up to 61%

LOS ANGELES — Firefighters have increased containment from 55% to 61% for the 114,004-acre Bobcat fire in the Angeles National Forest, which has burned for nearly three weeks.
Some 1,554 personnel assigned to the fire spent the night patrolling the fire area and putting out hot spots, U.S. Forest Service officials said. Priority areas included Mt. Wilson to Highway 2, Dorr Canyon and Rock Creek Road to ensure containment lines will hold if Santa Ana winds forecast for early next week mater
