The Los Angeles wildfire known as the Station Fire has consumed 42,500 acres of land, burned down 18 homes, and it’s only 5% contained as of this writing. Being as this fire is going on about three miles from The Drill Down recording studios, I thought I’d take this opportunity to share with you some pretty cool time-lapse videos of the fire that have popped up across the tubernets.

YouTube user TimCJ1215 shot this first one. Watch as the fire heads downslope, eventually consuming the entire hillside.



Eric Spiegelman shot this one, showing the endless billowing smoke filling the sky.



Dan Finnerty used a Canon EOS 5D2 to capture this eerie churning sight.



Here’s another great one by Dan Finnerty that spans the time from day to night.



Much thanks to these terrific videographers/photographers for a beautiful look at a terrible disaster.
