A car fire sparked a brush fire that spread quickly in hot, dry, breezy conditions in upper Bouquet Canyon near Spunky Canyon Road.
The car fire was reported Thursday at 6:16 p.m., and the brush fire was first reported at 37039 Bouquet Canyon Road.
The fire was initially reported as moving “extremely fast” in heavy brush. It jumped Bouquet Canyon Road (from south side to north side). It was considered to have a large 1,000 to 2,000-acre potential.
But an equally quick air attack and hose lay suppressed the forward progression of the flames. Knockdown was reported at 7:20 p.m. Hand crews and dozer teams continued to cut fire breaks, and a Forest Service fire crew was planning to spend the night patrolling the burn area.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department provided engines and firefighters from Santa Clarita and Palmdale for structure defense, along with two Firehawk helicopters.
