Castaic Brush Fire Near Templin Highway Quickly Stopped

A Castaic brush fire was quickly stopped by firefighters Saturday afternoon, officials said.

The brush fire in Castaic, dubbed the Park Fire, was first reported just after 4 p.m. Saturday east of the 5 Freeway at Templin Highway, according to a dispatcher supervisor with the Los Angeles County Fire Department Comand and Control.

Forward progress was stopped at about half an acre just 30 minutes after being reported, according to Fire officials.

Firefighters are expected to remain on scene of the blaze to “mop-up” the remaining hot spots.
