Multiple fire agencies across Los Angeles County spent Wednesday afternoon battling a 10-acre brush fire that broke out in the Verdugo Mountains above Burbank.

More than 150 personnel from the Burbank, Los Angeles city, Los Angeles County, Pasadena and Glendale fire departments responded to the blaze near the 1000 block of Hamline Place shortly before 3 p.m.

Burbank Fire Battalion Chief Ron Barone said an incident commander called for significant resources to be called in to help fight the fire “right off the bat.”

In addition to the multiple fire departments, crews from the National Forest Service were on the scene.

When the flames began to encroach on several residences, the Burbank Police Department called for a mandatory evacuation of homes along Viewcrest Drive and Howard Court.

The department designated McCambridge Park Recreation Center as the meeting site for evacuees.

All evacuation orders were lifted around 8:30 p.m., according to Burbank Police.

Some streets near the fire — Irvine Drive, east of Kenneth Road, and Joaquin Drive at Haven Way — were closed.

Moses Poshe, who lives nearby at Kenneth Road and Brown Drive, said he was able to see the flames from the Golden State (5) Freeway.

“I knew it was close to where I live, that was concerning, to say the least,” he said.

Poshe, who has been living in his home since December 2016, said it was the first time he’s been so close to a fire. He also praised the many firefighters for their response to the flames.

“It’s amazing,” he said. “These firefighters are doing what they do best and getting control of a fire that could have been very detrimental.”

Barone said several structures were at risk of being consumed by the flames, with several structure-protection crews dispatched along the perimeter of the fire. However, by late afternoon on Wednesday, he said no structures were damaged and the risk had passed.

“We were able to keep [the flames] away from the structures,” Barone said.
