Firefighters are mopping up an 8.3 acre blaze near Castaic, after setting up containment despite being hindered by the grass and vegetation in the area as well as winds pushing the fire west.

2:20 p.m. “A fire line around the whole fire was finished at 1:26 p.m.,” said Inspector Richard Licon with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. “We were able to handle with that first alarm (response). They’re in mop up mode right now.”

1:32 p.m. Helicopter units assigned to drop water on the fire have been released from the incident, according to officials. A perimeter line has been established around the fire and no additional units are needed.

“There’s flames in the ridge next to the location,” said an official with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. “We just got on scene.”

First responders received the call at 12:32 p.m., and were scene at 12:50 p.m.

Firefighters on scene report that a first alarm response will be enough to handle the fire, and helicopters are in the area making water drops on the #OakFire.

The first reports of the fire had the blaze at a half-acre, but the blaze quickly grew to two acres over the span of 20 minutes. It was reported close to the intersection of Hasley Canyon Rd. and Oak Canyon Rd.

The wind in the area is a significant factor in the firefighting effort at this time.

No structures are currently threatened by the fire, as of 1:05 p.m.
