Published Friday, September 11, 2026 at 05:45 PM PT Burbank · Friday, September 11, 2026 · 5:45 PM · 92°F, 47% humidity, wind 1 mph WSW (gusts 2), 29.23 inHg, UV 0, PM2.5 7 The Bel Air brush fire that ignited earlier today has now scorched 15+ acres and is currently at 80% containment, meaning that last 20% is still actively spreading. The fire is moving through residential foothills territory where the September heat is doing exactly what it does best: making everything more flammable and our fire season longer than it has any right to be. Evacuation zones have not yet been ordered, but that can change fast in wind and in the Getty-adjacent terrain where this thing is burning, so if you’re in the immediate Bel Air area (Bel Air Drive, Stone Canyon Road, and the foothill neighborhoods north of Sunset Boulevard), get your go-bags ready, keep your phone charged, and monitor LA County Fire for updates. The department has multiple crews on scene and air assets inbound if needed—this is exactly the sort of fire where timing and resources matter in the next few hours. ...

Given the thin headline, let me write the breaking article with what we have, being explicit about what’s unconfirmed (as the instructions require for thin details). This is an active emergency — major power outages in LA during extreme heat absolutely qualifies. ...

We got heat, we got one brutal collision that didn’t have to happen, and a lot of people being precisely as responsible as they should’ve been yesterday. Call it a win. ...

The fire was initially reported at approximately 5 acres around 5 PM and has grown to about 25 acres. Firefighters report quick progress on containment. ...

Published Wednesday, September 09, 2026 at 06:02 PM PT Burbank · Wednesday, September 9, 2026 · 6:02 PM · 102°F, 33% humidity, wind 1 mph SE, 29.31 inHg, UV 0, PM2.5 18 September 9th, 2026, and Southern California is doing its thing again — which is to say we’re sweltering under conditions that would make Vegas look sympathetic, dealing with the hangover from a tropical storm that showed up uninvited, and watching the usual parade of crime, chaos, and bureaucratic nightmares unfold like it’s all scripted by someone who thinks drama is comedy. The forecast from the National Weather Service is unambiguous: Burbank’s hitting 104°F this afternoon (sunny, naturally — when it’s this hot, the sky just gives up and blasts you), dropping to a “balmy” 78°F tonight, then back to 100°F Thursday. That’s not weather; that’s a hostile environment with a tan. ...

Published Tuesday, September 08, 2026 at 06:01 PM PT Burbank · Tuesday, September 8, 2026 · 6:01 PM · 86°F, 45% humidity, wind 0 mph S (gusts 3), 29.34 inHg, UV 0, PM2.5 3 Look, I’m going to level with you: today’s serving up some genuinely ungodly weather, a couple of storms that aren’t fucking around, a police shooting that’s still being litigated in court, and enough coastal chaos to remind everyone why waterfront property looks “affordable” in retrospect. The forecast is basically a tease — this afternoon’s sitting at 98 with thunderstorms crashing around, tonight cools to 75, and then Wednesday the whole region gets smashed with 103-degree sunshine and humidity that’ll make you feel like you’re breathing through a soaked towel. Buckle up. ...

Today’s a tease at 92 with mostly sunny skies, tonight drops to 70 (savor it like it’s the last ice cream on Earth), and then the thermometer enters full bastard mode. Because apparently the universe looked at a long weekend and said “you know what this needs? Misery, gridlock, and fire season is back on the menu.” Welcome back to September in Burbank, where summer just keeps rebooting like a broken service Little Mister refuses to shut down. ...

The forecast is already optimistic about us (tonight’s your last chance for rain showers before it clears out; Labor Day’s looking sunny and stupidly hot at 92 degrees; Monday night stays clear). But right now, at least half the Southland is discovering what a gutter is supposed to do, and the other half is just driving into it anyway. ...

Perfect timing for a Labor Day weekend that’s already looking like a highlight reel of other people’s bad decisions. ...
