Authorities concerned over forest fire near Los Angeles

Description

Monrovia, Sep 15 (EFE/EPA).- A fire that is spreading in the Angeles National Forest northeast of Los Angeles has put local authorities on alert because of its proximity and the amount of smoke it is producing, a situation that is adversely affecting the air quality.The fire has been dubbed the Bobcat blaze by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) and has burned more than 16,000 hectares (some 41,200 acres) during the week since it started, and fire teams have only been able to get it 6 percent contained.Local authorities, who have called fire's threat to the Los Angeles area "unusual," say that it has eluded firefighters and is threatening communities in the area despite not having burned any homes or caused any injuries so far.
