LA Firefighters Get Quick Handle On Small Brush Fire In Los Feliz

LOS ANGELES, CA — Firefighters quickly doused a small patch of heavy brush burning in Los Feliz Saturday.

"Firefighters are making their way in to overhaul the area and located an additional smoldering patch, up the ridge from the original fire," said Margaret Stewart of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Firefighters were initially dispatched at 11:25 a.m. to the 3600 block of North Griffith Park Blvd., Stewart said.

"Air ops are evaluating the need for a water drop to ensure no active flames remain," she said. "Due to the difficulty in reaching the area on the ground, LAFD resources will be on scene and active in the area for an extended period."
