Firefighters reined in the 300-acre blaze that ate through Angeles
National Forest on Thursday and Friday, containing the fire by late
Friday afternoon.
"A few hours ago, it had stopped putting up much of a smoke,"
Angeles National Forest spokesman Stanton Florea said late Friday
afternoon. "There's still a little heat, but it's almost fully
contained."
The blaze started near the 13000 block of Little Tujunga Road and
spread toward La Crescenta. At its height late Thursday afternoon,
smoke could be seen from downtown Glendale. No structures were
threatened by the blaze, Florea said.
The U.S. Forest Service will decide later whether to have a team
study the area to determine how much damage was inflicted, Florea
said.
