Mount Wilson is known as the area where Los Angeles TV and FM stations have their OTA Transmitters from and that is on fire watch due to the Santa Ana Winds. Not exactly sure how many people are exactly watching TV on OTA but if that goes away due to fire then the only place to watch wildfire updates would have to be through the station App streams.

An evacuation order was issued for the Mount Wilson Observatory and multiple campgrounds Monday due to the Bobcat Fire, which has grown to 4,871 acres as it continues to burn out of control in the Angeles National Forest north of Azusa.
The fast-moving blaze erupted around 12:20 p.m. Sunday near the Cogswell Dam and West Fork Day Use area, according to the federal InciWeb site.
Containment remains at 0%, and incoming Santa Ana winds are threatening to make the blaze much more dangerous for nearby San Gabriel Valley communities.
About 100 personnel have been dispatched to the fire, which is spreading rapidly through heavy brush and timber, and in steep, remote and difficult-to-access terrain, according to officials.
“The fire could experience explosive growth,” the Crescenta Valley sheriff’s station said.
An unknown number of structures remain threatened.
