A brush fire in the San Dimas area Friday scorched about 135 acres and left three firefighters with minor injuries, but no homes were threatened.
The fire was broke out for unknown reasons about 4 a.m. near San Dimas Canyon and Golden Hills roads, northeast of San Dimas Canyon Golf Course, and burned uphill, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Forward progress of the flames was stopped within about five hours.
Shortly before 5:30 p.m., the department announced the fire was 55% contained and adjusted the acreage blackened to 135 acres.
Two county firefighters and one Angeles National Forest firefighter suffered “minor, lower extremity injuries,” the county fire department reported.
At that height of the blaze, 10 aircraft were assigned to the firefighting effort, assisting crews on the ground, according to Angeles National Forest officials. La Verne Fire Department personnel were also sent to the scene.
