Fires as large as those blazing tonight in the Southland are usually spread by Santa Ana winds blowing in from the desert. These are a different story. Among the facilities shut down for the past few days is the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in LaCanada-Flintridge. Another one of the major landmarks threatened by the Station Fire is the observatory on Mt. Wilson.
