Woolsey Canyon Brush Fire In Chatsworth Held To 4-Acres

CHATSWORTH, CA — Los Angeles city and county firefighters continued to battle the heat along with hot spots from a 4-acre brush fire in Woolsey Canyon in Chatsworth Monday.

Firefighters from multiple agencies battled the blaze and continued to mop up hot spots amid dense, dry brush.

City firefighters first provided mutual aid on the ground and in the air Sunday afternoon in the 24000 block of West Woolsey Canyon Road, said the Los Angeles fire Department's Lyndsey Lantz.

"This has been dubbed the 'Dora Incident,' and forward progress of the fire was declared stopped within approximately 30 minutes," she said. "Four of the LAFD companies dispatched as Automatic Aid will remain staged and await orders as hot spots are doused and the threat of rekindle is abated."

The brush fire was pushed by 2 to 3 mph winds until forward progress was stopped, Lantz said.
