Zebra Fire Burns About 10 Acres in Azusa Foothills

Rapid helicopter water drops and ground crews are working to stop uphill spread while investigators probe the blaze's origin.

Overview

  • The vegetation blaze ignited near the Azusa Canyon Trail entrance shortly after 7 p.m. Monday and moved into medium brush.
  • Wildfire tracker Watch Duty and local reports estimated the fire at roughly 10 acres with a moderate rate of spread.
  • Fire crews deployed helicopters for repeated water drops and built containment lines to limit uphill movement on steep terrain.
  • Authorities reported no injuries, no structural damage and no evacuation orders as firefighters continued suppression.
  • Dry brush and steep slopes can make fires climb quickly so officials are monitoring winds and containment progress while the cause remains under investigation.
