Los Angeles County Fire Department crews from Station 91 were on scene by mid-afternoon, with additional engines and air resources rolling in as firefighters worked to lock the flames in place.

What L.A. County Fire reported
According to the County of Los Angeles Fire Department, units from FS91 arrived at 3:04 p.m. and initially mapped the blaze at about 2 acres. The agency’s brief update tagged the incident as a second-alarm brush fire and showed crews streaming into the area to halt the fire’s forward progress.
Colima Road corridor has seen recent blazes
Local reporting indicates this stretch of Colima Road has seen several small but fast-moving vegetation fires this spring, which is exactly why quick detection and aggressive response have become the norm there. A late May incident that prompted a drone deployment and an arrest was detailed in a Hoodline report on a prior Colima Road brush fire.
What residents should know
The County of Los Angeles Fire Department’s first public update did not list injuries or structural damage, and no cause had been released in the initial notice. Neighbors and drivers are urged to steer clear of the intersection while crews operate and to follow directions from public-safety officials on local channels.
Why this matters now
Hillside fuels and roadside brush along Colima can send flames racing uphill toward homes when conditions are dry, a pattern local outlets have been tracking in recent years. Coverage by ABC7 Los Angeles has documented how quickly small blazes in the area can balloon under red flag winds.
