SANTA CLARITA -- A brush fire erupted Monday in semi-rural northern Los Angeles County as hot and windy weather made conditions dangerous.
The blaze was reported at 10:41 a.m. in Placerita Canyon and the initial estimate of five acres was quickly outdated.
"It's bigger than that," said county fire Inspector Ed Lozano.
The fire was moving from light grasses into medium brush, and five fire engines were requested for structure protection in the area, an eastern area of the city of Santa Clarita adjacent to the Angeles National Forest.
