The blaze broke out Thursday in the third day of a heat wave on the southwest slopes of Mt. Washington in Highland Park. The 500-acre fire for a time swept on virtually unhindered because of no water or low water pressure in the area. Many of the 125 men fighting the blaze stood in 100-degree weather with limp hoses in some spots, unable to get water pres sure. Water tankers and street sprinklers finally helped contain the blaze. rtrm 9 No injuries or deaths were portei. Wi;hin a few minutes, the 12 homefwent up in flames as their occupants fled to safety. Some homeowners braved flames to save what belongings they could. The fire was one of three that raged .it one time along a 45-mile stretch of the heavily populated Los Acgeles basin from Pomona, Calif., through virtually the heart of Los Angeles into the Hollywood hills. Two miles west of the Pomona city limits, 30 acres of watershed were black ened and another 160 acres were charred in Beverly Glen canyon.
