L.A. Fire Chief Douglas Barry said fire had burned a little over 200 acres and was 30% contained by 7 p.m.
Barry said the terrain is so steep that the bulk of firefighting efforts are coming from the air. Fire officials said they had not yet decided if they would continue the air drops after sunset, which is typically the cut off point for firefighting air operations.
‘We’re trying to get it knocked down before dark,’ Barry said. ‘We don’t expect a lot of wind this evening.’
