“Today’s plan is to further increase containment line. To aid ground crews we have (Los Angeles County Fire Air Operations) water-dropping helicopters, along (with) fixed-wing retardant dropping aircraft,” reads a Wednesday morning update.

The brush fire was first reported to firefighters around 1:20 p.m. on the 24000 block of The Old Road in Newhall, and quickly grew to at least 50 acres in size, powered by high Santa Ana Winds that uprooted trees and downed powerlines across the valley.

Los Angeles County Fire Department firefighters worked alongside units from the Angeles National Forest Service (ANF), Ventura County Fire Department (VCFD), Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), Santa Barbara City Fire, CalFire and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) Fire Division to battle the blaze.

No structures are threatened or injuries reported due to the Towsley Fire as of Wednesday morning.
