5 Acres Burn in Angeles National Forest
Fire quickly spread Sunday through a remote area of the Angeles National Forest, blackening 5 acres but causing no injuries or property damage, a Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman said.
The brush fire broke out near the Golden State Freeway and Templin Highway around 12:30 p.m., according to spokesman Jim Crawford.
It took 95 county firefighters and 30 U.S. Department of Forestry personnel about 45 minutes to extinguish the blaze.
Crews were aided by three water-dropping helicopters.
The cause of the blaze has not yet been determined, Crawford said.
