Southern California Edison has agreed to pay $82.5 million to resolve claims stemming from the 2020 Bobcat Fire, federal prosecutors said.
The firefighters that battled for days to save the famed Mount Wilson Observatory from the raging Bobcat Fire were treated to a view of the stars over the weekend.
Firefighters worked to increase containment Saturday from 55% to 63% for the 114,082-acre Bobcat Fire in the Angeles National Forest.
The Bobcat Fire has reached 55% containment, allowing for some evacuation warnings to be lifted as crews continue to battle one of the largest blazes in Los Angeles County history.
The raging Bobcat Fire is 50% contained and has burned 113,986 acres, becoming one of the largest fires ever in Los Angeles County.
As the Bobcat Fire inched closer to the Mount Wilson Observatory earlier this week, firefighters worked around the clock to protect the historic site.
