LA County firefighters fully contain 190-acre Juno Fire in Lancaster
Los Angeles County firefighters have fully contained a brush fire that burned near Lancaster and prompted some evacuation warnings on Saturday.
The so-called Juno Fire, which was reported at around 5:50 p.m. near Fairmont-Neenach Road, grew to burn about 190 acres of brush by 7:30 p.m., Cal Fire officials said.
At around 7:45 p.m., firefighters said that forward progress of the fire had been stopped. Both ground crews and water-dropping aircraft were working to mitigate the flames.
As the blaze burned, evacuation warnings were issued for several zones in the area. All have since been lifted.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation and no injuries have been reported. On Sunday afternoon, LACoFD crews said that the fire was 100% contained.
It's the second notable fire to break out in the Antelope Valley in recent days, after the quickly growing Summit Fire burned more than 2,600 acres after igniting on Friday afternoon near Llano in the Angeles National Forest.
