Around 8 p.m., a brush fire erupted in Sylmar along the 210 Freeway at Polk Street. Crews began tackling the blaze on the north side of the freeway, and additional resources were put in place to defend condos on the south side if they were to be under danger.
The blaze impacted traffic, prompting 210 lanes in the area to be shut down, but firefighters appeared to be gaining the upper hand on the fire.
