Bel-Air: Sepulveda Fire Burns 50+ Acres, Only 25% Contained

06.10.2020 | 12:13 AM | LOS ANGELES – A fire dubbed the “Sepulveda Fire” scorched over 50 acres and was only 25% contained, early Wednesday morning.

Authorities responded to reports of a vegetation fire burning in the 1300 block of North Sepulveda Boulevard near the I-405 Freeway and Getty Center Drive in the Bel-Air area around 12:13 AM.

Crews arriving on scene located the wind-driven fire quickly spreading and worked from the air and ground to extinguish the flames.

Over 200 firefighters along with four helicopters were on scene working to battle the blaze which was at least 25% contained by the afternoon.

The Sepulveda Fire was sparked in the same area as the devastating Skirball Fire which erupted on December 6th, 2017 and scorched over 400 acres.

Two firefighters suffered minor injuries and were treated on scene.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
