Fire Over City: Time Lapse from Justin Martinez on Vimeo.
This video was created by Justin Martinez of Los Angeles. It's just one of scores of interesting fire videos posted on sites such as Youtube and Vimeo. Many are time lapse videos that dramatically depict the fire and smoke from the blaze in the Angeles forest.
Here's another example. This one was shot by Pasadena resident Dan Finnerty.

If you have some video, or if you've found an interesting example somewhere on the Web, post a link to it here, in the comments.
Pretty amazing. From some distance it doesn't necessarily appear to be a fire. More like a cloud with an agenda.
Timelapse, shot 8.30.09, from Tarzana, CA. Music by Brian Eno.
