Truck Sparks May Have Set Latest Brush Blaze
Los Angeles report says stray truck sparks may have started the latest major brush fire, the fourth in two weeks, burning 2 365 acres near Late Tujunga Canyon. The fire forced evacuations of hundreds as flames leveled nine homes. Officials later attributed ignition to a spark from a truck brake shoe amid gusty winds and drought. By Tuesday morning, a high fire danger remained with winds up to 70 mph forecast, but the blaze was contained by 8 am and controlled three hours later.
