Granada Hills Fire Map: See Archer Fire Perimeter, Evacuations Zone

LOS ANGELES, CA —A small brush fire broke out Granada Hills and quickly prompted evacuations, but crews were able to stop the fire's forward progress at 31-acres.

The blaze, dubbed the Archer Fire, broke out just before 10:30 a.m. in the 17200 block of West Sesnon Boulevard in the Granada Hills/Porter Ranch area near O'Melveny Park. It quickly grew to 31 acres, burning in medium brush under erratic winds, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart.

An immediate mandatory evacuation was issued but then quickly downgraded to a warning and the LAFD has lifted the earlier evacuation warning, said Stewart. The order was issued for residents at Balboa Boulevard and Interstate 5 on the east, Tampa Avenue on the west, Sesnon on the south and Sunshine Canyon Road on the north.

Stewart, said the Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters on the ground and in the air were able to tackle the Archer Fire quickly
