Possible Meteor Shower Blamed For 911 Calls

LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― Worried citizens who believed another wildfire was burning in Los Angeles called authorities in what was believed to be remnants from a possible meteor shower.

"We received several 911 calls from concerned citizens early today about fire being seen across the Los Angeles skies," said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.

"We believe they may be seeing remnants of a meteor shower in the sky and want to assure people there are no wildfires currently burning in Los Angeles," he said before dawn Tuesday.
