Firefighters battled a brush fire in Castaic Wednesday afternoon, but had to restrict their ground attack due to the fire’s proximity to a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department bomb squad training facility.
The brush fire was first reported on the 29300 block of The Old Road shortly before 1:30 p.m., according to Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman Henry Narvaez.
First-arriving units on the scene found what appeared to be a 1-acre fire, creeping uphill in light to medium fuel, Narvaez said.
