The Eaton Fire made a run for Mount Wilson on Thursday afternoon.
But the Mount Wilson Observatory and the telescope were not damaged, thanks to firefighters' efforts, said L.A. County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone.
"No buildings or infrastructure have been damaged or destroyed at Mount Wilson," Marrone said.
A brush fire broke out Friday morning on a hillside in Granada Hills, briefly prompting an evacuation order and quickly burning 31 acres as firefighters rushed to attack it.
Firefighters on the ground and in the air responded to the so-called Archer Fire about 10:30 a.m. in the 17000 block of West Sesnon Boulevard.
No injuries or structural damage were immediately reported.
The fire burned in light to medium brush under erratic winds, the Los Angeles Fire Department said. But firefighters quickly gained control of the flames and the evacuation orders were lifted by 1:30 p.m.
No homes were immediately exposed to the flames, but a nearby residential neighborhood was seen in aerial video from AIR7.
The cause of the fire was unknown.
Fuel shortages are expected in Las Vegas due to issues related to the Los Angeles fires.
The Kinder Morgan Pipeline, which is between the two areas, has been affected by the wildfires and power line de-energizations, according to officials.
This pipeline accounts for approximately 95% of the petroleum products used in the Vegas metropolitan area.
Though it isn't expected to meet the fuel consumption rates of the area, a plan is in place to transport fuel to Las Vegas.
Officials expect the power de-energization issues to continue through Sunday.
A scene of utter devastation was visible from overhead as AIR7 surveyed the structural damage wrought by the deadly Eaton Fire in Altadena, Pasadena and nearby foothill communities.
Row upon row of burned homes were visible from the helicopter as firefighters continued to contend with the blaze, which had burned 13,690 acres and was 3% contained as of Friday morning.
Nearly 1,000 structures have been destroyed in the fire, one of several wildfires burning in Southern California. Fire officials said approximately 7,801 structures were believed to be damaged or destroyed.
