Firefighters quickly extinguished a 1-acre blaze in Laurel Canyon on Sunday evening before it could spread throughout the hillside neighborhood of multimillion-dollar homes.

The fire started shortly after 7 p.m. in the 2100 block of Laurel Canyon Road in Mount Olympus, said Brian Humphrey, a spokesman with the L.A. Fire Department. It took more than 100 firefighters an hour to knock down the blaze.

No homes were damaged and no injuries reported, Humphrey said. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
