It took firefighters less than an hour to stop a small brushfire that started with a vehicle and spread to nearby vegetation in the Tujunga area of Los Angeles.
The fire was reported at 7:44 p.m. Saturday at 7354 W. Verdugo Crestline Drive, said the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Cody Weireter. Forward progress was reported stopped about 8:25 p.m.
“Quick action by firefighters, contained the `Terra Fire’ to a 30-feet-by-50-feet patch of vegetation,” Weireter said.
Firefighters were planning to remain at the scene to put out hot spots, he said. No injuries were reported.
Structures were not threatened, Weireter said.
