U.S. Forest Service and Los Angeles County firefighters put out a five-acre brush fire in the Angeles National Forest above Azusa that was ignited at a nearby shooting range, authorities said.
No structures were threatened and the fire was fully contained Saturday afternoon, Nathan Judy of the U.S. Forest Service told City News Service.
Firefighters were dispatched to the Burro Canyon Shooting Park at 22100 E. East Ford Road at 10:54 a.m.
The cause of the fire was under investigation, but Judy said it started at the Burro Canyon Shooting Park, a paid-entry gun range.
San Gabriel Canyon (Highway 39) Road at East Fork was reopened, he said.
