Fire Threatens Universal and Warner Bros. Studios

Posted Mar 30th 2007 4:37PM by TMZ Staff

A fast-moving brush fire is burning high in the Hollywood Hills, dangerously close to both Universal and Warner Bros. studios. Thank goodness for the water tower.
Breaking News
Thick clouds of smoke have filled the skies over Burbank, Universal City and Glendale as firefighters work to quell the blaze.

The fire is burning on the other side of the mountain from the famed landmark Hollywood sign. Los Angeles has had a record dry winter, leaving the hills a veritable tinderbox.

Story developing.

2. I was driving on Mulholland Drive and had to turn back because I was so scared. I'm so sick of fire. Like I was just at a crazy house party a couple night ago in the Hollywood Hills -- Paris wanted to get in, but we locked the door. Anyway...... everyone was doing coke and smoking Camels...... and this blonde "aspiring actress" dropped her cigarette on the carpet..... yep, more fire! I told the stipid bitch to walk down Sunset Boulevard and get hit by a car.

3. Ah OH !!!

TMZ is located in Glendale. Let's hope the fire doesn't get too close to their offices over there. What would we do without our weekly dose of TMZ stories. LOL.

4. I work at one of the studios and can see the fire from the lot. I doubt the fire is going to jump the freeway and threaten Warner Bros or Universal... How Dramatic !

5. Hey! All of you who are in L.A., especially in Hollywood, please be careful. I would hate for something bad to happen to you or your loved ones. Your comments -- even the flaming ones -- make my day up here in Fresno.
P.S. Forgive us for K-Fed.

12. Isn't is a funny coincidence that Universal needed to clear that brush in order to build the new townhouses and apartment buildings?
