It's on the Valley side and began burning north and east of the Hollywood sign about 1:30 pm. The park, zoo and Autry Museum are under evacuation, but the smoke and traffic has to be affecting the I-5 and 134 freeways. An arson suspect is in custody. Coverage everywhere on TV and radio; the Times is doing live coverage as a blog; photo is from LAist.
