Fire Danger Level Raised In Angeles Forest

LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― Officials are raising the fire danger level in the Angeles National Forest this weekend.

It's going from high to very high starting Sunday.

Officials are raising the danger level because of increased in fire activity in the forest.

Last Sunday, flames erupted in the Little Tujunga section of the forest. 

Also, vegetation continues to dry out in the summer heat.

Officials said open wood and charcoal fires will only be allowed inside fire rings at developed campgrounds and picnic areas.
