Of course for anyone in or around Lower_Manhattan on that horrible day in 2001, they might have felt that NY City+was+on+Fire. Fortunately, that fire was contained to a relatively small area within Lower_Manhattan.

The # 911

City on Fire (1979 film)

City_on_Fire is about an out of control oil refinery conflagration that's not necessarily set in the Greater Houston Area or in L.A. County. It's set in a generic North American metropolis.

While most of LA isn't on fire, some key parts of the county are.

LA and Los_Angeles_County is a much larger area than Greater Houston. Some parts of Los_Angeles_County still have a wilderness feel and some parts still have heavily wooded sections or even forest_areas.

While its big enough to be a major concern, its nothing like what was depicted in the City+on+Fire movie.
