Fire at Universal Studios
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — A large fire raged on a back lot at Universal Studios on Sunday, devouring several movie sets and the theme park's King Kong attraction, officials said.
The King Kong exhibit is a stop on the studio's tram tour where the giant ape bellows at passengers and artificial banana scent fills the area, studio spokesman Eliot Sekuler said.
Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Daryl Jacobs said at least one building had burned and as many as three blocks of movie facades were destroyed.
Two mock New York and New England streets used for movie making and tourist displays were "a total loss," he said.
Though the fire was contained, it was still raging, Jacobs said.

Kind of unusual for something of this nature to happen in the epic of Hollywood.
And ironic that someone didn't shoot better footage of it. . .stinks about the Back to the Future town square.
