The blaze, dubbed the “Crown IC,” or Crown Fire, was called in at about 12:15 p.m. Upon arrival, firefighters noticed the fire originated from a trailer and spread to the surrounding brush.
Inspector Gustavo Medina of LACoFD confirmed the location of the fire and said no structures were threatened.
“We were dispatched at 12:13 p.m. for a brush fire in Acton, which turned out to be a trailer fire that spread to brush,” said Medina. “Two acres were burned. There was a pile of trash burning as well. Forward progress was stopped at 12:41 p.m.”
As firefighters worked, the fire inched its way towards a nearby railroad track, prompting firefighters to place a call to Metrolink to stop all trains.
Metrolink published a tweet around 1 p.m. on their Twitter account to warn passengers who might be waiting for trains at stations nearby.
“AV Line: Tracks are closed between Via Princessa and Vincent Grade/Acton due to fire department activity near the tracks. Working on alternate transportation. Update to follow.”
The fire burned approximately two acres near Crown Valley Rd. and was extinguished around 12:40 p.m. No injuries were reported, according to LACoFD.
