Fire Sears 25 Acres in Sand Canyon Area
A brush fire destroyed 25 acres in the Sand Canyon area just south of Santa Clarita on Monday, county fire officials said.
The fire broke out shortly after 4 p.m. near the Live Oak Campground, east of Placerita Canyon and Sand Canyon roads, said Ron Coffin, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
He said nearly 200 firefighters, including some from the U.S. Forest Service, battled the blaze for nearly two hours, assisted by two retardant-dropping helicopters and a plane.
No injuries were reported.
There are about six homes in the area, but none were threatened by the blaze, Coffin said.
The cause was not known.
