There are apparently 150 firefighters on Mount Wilson and the fire is about two hours away.
It's called the STATION fire, and is about 5% contained!

The view is not good in the webcam.

The smoke was heavier this morning, but the fire is closer now.

There is a Mt. Wilson blog here:

And a recently-published article in the LA Times:

Apparently 54 Square MILES (35,200 acres) were burned as of this MORNING.

According to Inciweb the La Brea Fire in Los Padres National
Forest has burned 89,439 acres (140 sq miles) but is 100% contained.
