Firefighters knocked down a small brushfire Sunday that scorched about a half-acre of grass in the Los Feliz area.
The blaze, which was initially reported near 162 Griffith Park Drive in Griffith Park, just south of the observatory, was called in at 5:16 p.m., said Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart. The department later updated the location to 2347 N. Hobart Blvd. in Los Feliz.
The department dispatched 52 firefighters to the scene and extinguished the flames in 28 minutes, Stewart said.
No injuries were reported and no structures were damaged, she said.
Firefighters were remaining at the scene to mop up any hotspots, she added.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation.
