No structures were threatened in the blaze, which was reported at 1:07 p.m. near the highway and Cement Plant Road in northern Los Angeles County. Firefighters arrived on scene at 1:25 p.m.
“There’s not much out there, which is why it took us so long to get there,” said Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Richard Licon.
He said 10 engines and four helicopters from the Los Angeles County and Kern County fire departments were involved in the firefight.
