The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) made quick work putting out a brush fire that broke out in Kenter Canyon on Tuesday.
According to the LAPD, ground and air teams responded at 3:23 p.m. to 1504 Kenter Avenue where a one-quarter acre brush fire was burning uphill slowly in medium terrain.
“60 LAFD firefighters, aided by a prompt call to 9-1-1, proper brush clearance, an aggressive LAFD helicopter initial attack and a lack of strong wind, were able to confine flames to the one-quarter (0.25) acre of vegetation adjacent to a recently demolished home, fully extinguishing flames in just 50 minutes,” said LAPD’s Brian Humphrey.
There have been no reported injuries or structure damage. The fire’s cause under investigation.
