A fire in a big rig spread to about a quarter-acre of brush Wednesday near the northbound Golden State (5) Freeway in the Sylmar area, but the flames were quickly extinguished and no one was hurt.
Firefighters were sent to the area near Roxford Street about 11:50 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
“Firefighters fully contained the brush fire and extinguished the big rig fire with no injuries reported,” the LAFD said in a statement. “There were no structures damaged. Crews remain on scene conducting mop up operations to ensure all hot spots are out.”
The cause of the truck fire was under investigation.
