A brush fire that has burned 16 acres near Sunland was 80% contained Friday.
“Crews continue to make progress, securing containment lines, and mopping up hotspots,” an Angeles National Forest statement said.
There were currently no road or area closures.
The fire was reported around 5:20 p.m. Wednesday near the 12500 block of North Big Tujunga Canyon Road, east of Big Tujunga Creek, with flames burning uphill, said spokesman Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Earlier this week, a total of 25 Forest Service personnel and an firefighting airplane had been deployed, according to a U.S. Forest Service official.
Humphrey said that on Wednesday, LAFD personnel were working with four helicopters. Firefighters from the Los Angeles County Fire Department were also battling the blaze in what is considered a mutual threat zone.
No injuries have been reported.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
