Not official report. AI-generated from public dispatch audio. Always verify with official sources.

Officers and fire crews are managing a hillside fire near homes in the Burbank area. Units contact a homeowner at the base of a driveway and confirm he is the only resident in that house. One nearby resident refuses to leave despite the evacuation effort. Police set up traffic control and close northbound Sunset Canyon Drive at San Jose Avenue to keep the area clear for fire vehicles. Crews check a nearby residence to the east to make sure the fire is not spreading in that direction. An aircraft arrives to help watch for embers or brush catching fire on the hillside behind the house. Conditions appear stable, with calm wind and smoke rising mostly straight up.
