Fast-moving wildfire breaks out in Los Angeles overnight as winds rage
Firefighters raced to contain a brush fire that erupted in Brentwood early Wednesday morning, just as the region prepares for a round of Santa Ana winds that could create wildfire conditions.
The flames broke out around 2:50 a.m. near Vandergrift Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Firefighters attacked the blaze from the ground and air, preventing it from spreading beyond about 1.5 acres. Crews halted its forward progress within an hour.
