Two brush fires flared up in the Chatsworth area Monday, but no structures were damaged and nobody was hurt.
The first fire was reported about 1 p.m. near the 22000 block of West Chatsworth Street, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Firefighters stopped the forward progress of the fire at about a quarter-acre within a half hour, and crews remained on scene dousing hot spots.
A second quarter-acre brush fire sparked just before 3:45 p.m. in the 22230 block of West Chatsworth Street, just north of the first fire, according to the LAFD.
Crews managed to contain the second fire by about 4:10 p.m. and were still mapping its acreage.
No structures were damaged and no injuries were reported in either fire, but the LAFD reported Metrolink lines between Simi Valley and Chatsworth were closed until firefighting efforts in the area concluded.
It was not immediately known if the two fires were related, and their causes were under investigation.
