As the attendees of the “Sing-A-Long Sound of Music” exited the Hollywood Bowl Saturday night, they were met with the sight of burning palm trees.

Multiple social media users shared video and footage of the burning trees, but as of about 11:40 p.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed there was no danger to the iconic venue.


“That somewhat stubborn fire near the @HollywoodBowl, our 1,423rd emergency of the day,” the department tweeted. “Thankfully involves only vegetation, and has not risen to the level of issuing an @LAFD ALERT.

Three fire companies were on scene working to extinguish the blaze, the LAFD added.

The cause of the fire was not immediately released.
