Los Angeles County experienced a series of fires this past Friday.

The first fire was in Santa Clarita near Calgrove Boulevard. It broke out at about 1:30 p.m. and quickly covered an area of 15 acres. Three helicopters sprayed water as 100 firefighters battled the blaze on the ground. At 3:30 p.m., the fire, which had threatened 30 homes, was finally put out. Some homes, as well as the freeways in the area, were evacuated until 7 pm.

The second fire was near 14 Freeways in Acton. This fire burned on a 23-acre area near Hubbar Road and Escondido. The pungent smoke caused one person living nearby to lose consciousness. A vehicle was also reported to be burned in the fire. The blaze was reported at 3:30 p.m and was fought by 150 firefighters. It took two hours to put it out.

While firefighters were busy with the fires in Santa Clarita and Acton and arson investigators trying to determine the cause of the two incidents, another bush fire of a small scale was reported near Dodger Stadium at about 6 p.m. The fire covered an area of three acres and was in an uneven area that trucks could not reach. So with the help of helicopters spraying water, 69 firefighters battled the fire. While it was being fought, two lanes on the Southbound110 Freeway were closed.
