Firefighters on Saturday were battling a 75-acre blaze in a remote part of San Gabriel Canyon.
No structures were threatened and no injuries were reported, said Dee Dechert, a U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman. The fire, southwest of the Bridge to Nowhere, began shortly after 2 p.m. The cause was unknown.
“Right now there is no containment and no estimated time of containment,” Dechert said. Winds were calm Saturday night but could pick up today.
