At approximately 12:33 a.m. Saturday, officials with the Los Angeles County Fire Department received reports of a brush fire near Sierra Highway and The Old Dirt Road, just north of Vasquez Canyon Road.
“Its about a two acre fire, moving at a moderate rate of spread,” said Supervisor Michael Pittman with the department.
A full first-alarm response was called to combat the blaze, which was later dubbed the Old Fire due to its proximity to The Old Dirt Road.
As of 1:05 a.m., firefighters on scene believed that they would be able to handle the Old Fire with the resources from the first-alarm response, Pittman added.
Forward progress was reportedly stopped on the blaze just before 1:10 a.m. Saturday.
No structures were immediately threatened, and no injuries had been reported in connection with the Old Fire as of 1:10 a.m. Saturday.
The exact cause of the Old Fire was not known as of Saturday morning.
