Scope and Contents
The trajectory of Olive View was shaped by two fires, the Melody Ranch/Placerita Canyon fire in 1962 and the Loop fire in 1966, and also by two substantial earthquakes in the Sylmar quake of 1971, which damaged structures beyond repair and led to its implosion in 1973, and the Northridge earthquake in 1994.
