Brush Fire Breaks Out In Lincoln Heights

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Firefighters battled a small brush fire in the Lincoln Heights area of East Los Angeles early Tuesday morning.

The blaze broke out before 5 a.m. in the 2100 block of North Soto Street.

Los Angeles Fire Department crews arrived to find the blaze burning in short grass on a hillside known as Radio Hill, near Lincoln Park.

Crews were able to contain the fire to two acres. It was brought under control by 6:11 a.m.

There were no injuries. The cause is under investigation.

Several fires sparked throughout the region Monday amid a red flag warning that expired Monday night. However, the Southland is expected to continue experiencing hot and breezy conditions through Wednesday which will keep the fire risk high.
