Bobcat fire: Firefighters continue protecting Mt. Wilson Observatory

Firefighters on Wednesday, Sept. 16, continued keeping the Bobcat fire from reaching the Mount Wilson Observatory while also working to control a 700- to 1,000-acre spot fire that erupted in Cooper Canyon, authorities said.
After focusing much of Tuesday’s efforts protecting the foothill communities and the iconic observatory – which had flames within 500 feet of it – Angeles National Forest authorities said they were working to keep those gains.
