Photos: Glendora Fire Smoke Drifts Into Echo Park

Echo Park shutterbugs share their pics from Thursday morning's 1,700-acre blaze on several social media sites.

Thursday morning's fire in the forests north of Glendora has forced evacuations for nearby towns, but smoke from the blaze that's drifted for miles into Echo Park sent many rushing to their cameras.

The aftermath of the 1,700-acre brusher in the Angeles National Forest, dubbed the Colby Fire, has made its way to the neighborhood and created a somewhat apocalyptic scene in the skies above.

Many in Echo Park have already uploaded their pictures to Twitter and Instagram. Check out the gallery below.
