A brush fire dubbed the Margo Fire broke out near the intersection of Valle Del Oro and Trumpet Drive in Newhall on Sunday afternoon, according to the L.A. County Fire Department.
“[We] dispatched at 1:21 p.m.,” said Capt. John McClaskey. “It’s a second alarm [fire] with approximately 50 firefighters.”
According to supervising fire dispatcher Melanie Flores, while the Margo Fire was initially reported to have a range of 2 acres, firefighters were able to keep it down to less than an acre. The fire was extinguished at approximately 4:29 p.m. No structures or people were harmed.
An evacuation order was given to Trumpet Drive residents due to the blaze’s potential danger to residences. As of 3:25 p.m., all evacuation orders were lifted, according to Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Deputy A. Angerhofer.
The Margo Fire erupted near where the Olga Fire started on Saturday, burning a total of 1.4 acres near the intersection of Grape Lily Circle and Valle Del Oro. An apartment on Grape Lily Circle caught fire Saturday, with two victims and two dogs being rescued from the building without the need to be transported to the hospital.
