A quarter-acre brush fire near the intersection of Sierra Highway and Via Princessa on Sunday was knocked down within approximately 10 minutes of its first report, according to Martin Rangel, supervising fire dispatcher with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Rangel said the fire burned some light grass and was contained in a quick manner. A Fire Department airship and dozer were initially called in to assist, but were quickly canceled.
