225 Fight to Contain 25-Acre Brush Fire
A fire consumed 25 acres of brush Tuesday in an uninhabited area of San Francisquito Canyon in the Angeles National Forest, 12 miles north of Saugus.
About 125 firefighters and two helicopters from the Los Angeles County Fire Department aided 100 U.S. Forest Service crew members in fighting the fire for two hours before containing the blaze at 4:30 p.m., a spokesman for the Forest Service said. The fire burned an area adjacent to San Francisquito Canyon Road near the ruins of an abandoned power station.
No structures were threatened and there were no injuries.
