Fires swept through Topanga Canyon and the Santa Monica mountains in late November of 1938 when ashes from an old cooking range scattered into nearby grass in Calabasas. Flames jumped the Pacific Coast Highway and burned several homes along the beach north of Santa Monica.
A group of about twenty firefighters rest on a truck bed after battling flames along California Highway 1 (the Roosevelt Highway, or Pacific Coast Highway). - Caption
