The LAFD reported that "due to the location and access issues it took firefighters 81 minutes (4:42 am) to extinguish the flames," stating the challenges faced by the responders in navigating the terrain to put out the blaze, an LAFD Air Operations unit provided critical water drops which prevented the fire from spreading while ground crews worked to gain access to the affected area. There were no injuries reported related to the incident, and the cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

This particular incident was managed under the coordination of Fire Station 41, along with Battalion 5 and other LAFD units including Engine Companies 27, 41, 56, and 61; Battalion Chiefs 18 and 5; and additional support from Air Operations and emergency medical personnel. The multi-agency effort was essential in containing the blaze, with team members specializing in various aspects of fire suppression and control.
