A brush fire sent Los Angeles County firefighters into the unincorporated Antelope Acres neighborhood on Monday afternoon, June 15, 2026, after reports of smoke near N. 90th Street West and W. Avenue I. Crews were on scene at about 2:15 p.m., and a second alarm was requested shortly afterward. Early information did not indicate any injuries or structural damage.
According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, units from engine company FS130 were dispatched to N. 90th St. W. at W. Avenue I. The department's post stated that crews first responded at about 2:15 p.m., and that a second alarm was requested at 2:32 p.m.
What a second alarm brings
A second alarm typically brings additional engines, crews, heavy equipment, and support units so incident commanders can hold lines as a fire grows, as explained by KHTS. That escalation helps free up resources elsewhere and gives firefighters extra manpower and dozers when needed.
Antelope Valley's busy stretch of fires

Earlier in June, the Macy Fire scorched more than 1,600 acres in the Antelope Acres area, and mid‑May's Corral Fire burned about 160 acres, FOX 11 reported.
How to stay informed
Residents near the scene are advised to monitor official channels for any evacuation orders and road closures, including Alert LA County and county fire updates. Officials also urge people to avoid driving into smoky areas and to follow instructions from first responders.
