Crews engage brushfire in Santa Clarita, two lanes of Route 14 closed
Firefighters were engaged with a brushfire in the Santa Clarita area near Route 14 Monday morning.
The blaze was first reported just before 9:30 a.m., and had burnt just over an acre before Los Angeles County Fire Department crews were able to stop forward progress at about 10 a.m.
A water-dropping helicopter was on hand to assist with containment.
As a result, California Highway Patrol officers issued a Sigalert, closing two lanes of Route 14. Two lanes were left open, though authorities warned drivers heading through the area to expect delays.
The cause of the fire wasn't immediately known.
