Fire Doused In Peck Park Area

The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to multiple calls of a brush fire in the area of Peck Park around 6 p.m. May 13.

Upon arrival firefighters found about an acre of brush burning in rugged terrain.

Due to the high winds the fire quickly began to spread, pushing the incident to become a greater alarm fire requiring several additional resources throughout the city and county of Los Angeles to respond.

After about an hour and forty-five minute assault from the air and ground with about eighty firefighters on-scene, firefighters were able to get the upper hand.

No injuries or significant damages were reported.

Resources remained at the scene overnight battling hotspots. Firefighters returned May 14, after a small pile of brush rekindled from the previous day’s fire, that incident was handled quickly with no further incident.

A total of ten acres were reportedly burned in the fire.

The cause remains under investigation.
