’ San Fernando Valley consumed about five acres near a homeless encampment Tuesday afternoon and had local news stations watching closely amid the hot weather and breezy conditions as another fire season in Southern California looms.
The Los Angeles Fire Department responded around 3:30 PM local time to the blaze. It said just after 5 PM that the fire’s forward progress had been stopped and “the blaze is largely contained.” LAFD temporarily closed the Metro Orange Line busway in both directions between White Oak Avenue and Woodley Avenue for safety.
The fire, originally reported as a grass fire before begin upgraded, began in a largely vacant area that contained mostly chaparral as well as what appeared to be several homeless encampments. The LAFD said there were several propane gas tanks at the homeless site that exploded during the fire, forcing some firefighters to retreat briefly. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
