Drivers in the area reported that traffic was backed up and that traffic signals were out in order to give the firefighters access to the blaze that was right alongside the road.

However, by 2:30 p.m., the fire that had by that time grown to a quarter-of-an-acre was 100 percent contained and LACoFD personnel were in the “mop up” phase.
