Firefighters contained a small brush fire that burned vegetation in Griffith Park Sunday.
The fire that ignited near 5400 W. Zoo Drive was reported around 6 p.m., according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.
The department dispatched 50 firefighters and a water-dropping helicopter to the scene. The flames were contained in about half an hour, Humphrey said.
No estimate of the acreage burned was immediately available. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire remained under investigation.
Two county fire department hand crews were expected to join in the mop-up operations, he said.
