Why Fark, Drudge and Huffington when you can Buzz!?A massive fire raged on a back lot filled with movie sets at Universal Studios early Sunday, spewing thick smoke as it devoured several buildings. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Los Angeles County fire Inspector Daryl Jacobs said at least one building had burned and as many as three blocks of movie facades were destroyed. Though the fire was contained, it was still raging, Jacobs said.
“The facades are constructed of heavy timber and they tend to burn quite freely,” he said.
