The Los Angeles Fire Department was notified by the first of several 9-1-1 calls at 1:03 PM on September 21, 2022 to respond to a brush fire in the hills north of La Tuna Canyon Road. Firefighters arrived quickly to find approximately 5 acres of brush burning in steep and remote terrain.
Under the command of LAFD Assistant Chief Corey Rose, a well-coordinated ground and air assault slowed the forward progress of the fire in a matter of hours, preventing the need for any threat to or evacuations of nearby homes. During the swift mutual aid response from five agencies, firefighters took advantage of the temperature, wind, and former burn scar from the 2017 La Tuna Fire, all of which enabled crews to keep this fire being stopped at just over 100 acres, rather than thousands.
Fire crews remained long after the flames were eliminated, improving containment lines, and mopping up hot spots and smoldering debris. Thankfully no structures were threatened by the advancing flames, and no injuries were reported.
The cause of the major emergency blaze, known as the Land Fire, remains under active investigation.
A special thank you goes out to all of our Foothill Mutual Threat Zone cooperators who respond with the LAFD on a variety of emergencies on a regular basis. Today, those included Los Angeles County Fire Department, US Forest Service (Angeles National Forest), Burbank Fire Department, and Glendale Fire Department.
