A 3-acre brush fire that broke out Friday afternoon between Tapia Canyon Road and Charlie Canyon Road that saw three trailers catch fire was handled, according to Los Angeles County Fire Department officials.
Firefighters initially suspected the cause of fire to be an inverted lithium battery, but the incident is still being investigated, according to Craig Little, a spokesman for the Fire Department.
Luis Garcia, a spokesman for the Fire Department, said that firefighters were dispatched at around 12:51 p.m. and arrived at Charlie Canyon Road at 1:06 p.m. to combat what was dubbed the Copco Fire. Garcia also said that no structures were threatened.
There was one minor injury to fire personnel, who was transported to a nearby hospital, according to Little.
A fire weather warning in the Santa Clarita Valley was issued Friday morning by the National Weather Service, with temperatures expected to be near or above triple digits.
