Large fire breaks out on lot at Universal Studios*

AP - Monday, June 2

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - A Los Angeles fire official says a large fire
is burning on a lot at Universal Studios.

Los Angeles fire Capt. Frank Reynoso says the blaze was reported just
before dawn Sunday on a sound stage on a back lot. There are no
immediate reports of injuries.

Reynoso says filming could have been going on at the time and that there
has been at least one explosion. He says the fire is contained to the
back lot, and firefighters are working to ensure the flames don't spread
to nearby brush.

About 100 city and county firefighters are helping studio firefighters
tackle the blaze.
