Santa Clarita Brush Fire Part 1

SANTA CLARITA (CNS) – County firefighters battled a fast-moving, three- alarm brush fire today that has scorched at least 800 acres in Santa Clarita at the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway. The fire, which was believed to have started from a traffic collision on the southbound 14 Freeway, near the Sierra Highway off-ramp just north of Placerita Canyon Road, was reported at 12:47 p.m., according to a Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatcher. The flames “jumped the freeway,” the dispatcher said. A SigAlert was declared by the California Highway Patrol just after 2 p.m. and authorities shut down the 14 Freeway southbound at Sand Canyon Road and northward at Newhall Avenue. At least 200 county firefighters have been dispatched to fight the fire and there was zero containment as of this afternoon, according to the county fire department. A water-dropping helicopter was dispatched to the scene just before 1 p.m., according to Los Angeles City Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey, who added that no LAFD ground crews have been dispatched so far. Cal Fire is also assisting in the battle to extinguish the flames, a spokesman said. No injuries have been reported, but the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has ordered mandatory evacuations for Disney Ranch, Tenderfoot Trail Road, Running Horse Road and Placerita Canyon. An emergency evacuation center has opened at Golden Valley High School at 27051 Robert C. Lee Parkway, according to the Santa Clarita sheriff’s station. The temperature in Santa Clarita was 107 degrees as of 4 p.m.
