Structure fire ignites brush in La Cañada but is knocked down

A structure fire ignited brush in La Cañada on Thursday evening and appeared to be spreading before flames were knocked down by firefighters.

The blaze in the 300 block of Starlight Crest Drive ignited a deck in a backyard and spread to an adjacent brush area. But the blaze was brought under control shortly before 6 p.m., the Los Angeles County Fire Department told the L.A. Times.
