At Universal Studios in Burbank, California it’s a big fire. Some studios are burning and this news is on all news channels. Universal Studios it’s in flames. Nobody know why, but the images from there are crazy. More than 100 firemen are trying to stop the big flames. There were also reports of an explosion in the studio’s adjacent amusement park, said Los Angeles County Fire Capt. Frank Reynoso.
The three-alarm blaze began about 4:45 a.m. PT (7:45 a.m. ET) Sunday and reportedly damaged two “prop” buildings, including a chapel, and a popular ride called the “Cyclone,” Reynoso said.
About 100 city and county firefighters are helping studio staff tackle the flames, which have caused at least one explosion, he said.
No injuries have been reported at the 230-acre site, which saw filming for King Kong and The War of the Worlds.
Helicopters have been dropping water on to the burning structures, and television pictures showed flames leaping into the air as a thick cloud of smoke covered the site.
