LOS ANGELES (UPI) A 20,000-acre brush and forest fire burned yesterday to the edge of a scenic highway through the San Gabriel Mountains, and firefighters hoped to stop it there and prevent the blaze from moving up the back side of Mount Wilson. Besides the five•mile front along Angeles Crest Highway, fire officials said, the blaze also threatened to break loose on • its eastern flank, burning towards the Chelao Flats area. A second fire in the Angeles National Forest. consumed 2,000 acres and was burning out of control, but firefighters either contained or neared containment of several other major blazes in Southern California mountains. A force of 1,900 firefighters from several states battled the largest blaze, known as the Sage Fire, with the help of air tankers dropping fire retardant. "The main deal is what will happen with the winds in the afternoon," a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service said. "If it jumps the highway, we don't know how much acreage it will burn, and Mount Wilson could be threatened from the other side," the service said. No homes were lost by the blaze, which has destroyed a mine, a fishery and four Forest Service tree plantations. The Mount Gleason fire, burning more than a mile to the west, did not threaten any structures.
