Brentwood-Bel Air fire


The Bel Air west gate at Sunset and Bellagio

In 1961, a construction crew working in Sherman Oaks noticed the smoke and flames in a nearby pile of rubbish. Within minutes, Santa Ana winds gusting up to 60 mph (97 km/h) sent burning brush aloft and ultimately seared November 6, 1961, into Los Angeles' civic memory.
