Update 1:18 p.m. CDT--Firetruck filmed at Mount Wilson Observatory, where flames are within a few feet of the dome. The same view also showed a new line of fire starting below the facility.

Original post follows. Note: for fastest access to video, click the small arrow on the bottom left of the video box. The large arrow takes you to a page with non-related menu choices.

Firefighting ground crews have returned to the Mount Wilson Observatory. Also on hand: air tanker efforts to stop the Station wildfire from consuming the Mount Wilson Observatory.

UPDATE: I've now discontinued the live feed as the 24/7 coverage of the fire is over. CBS News provided live streaming coverage of the battle for control of the fires.
