Firefighters jumped hard and fast on what I heard was approximately a four-acre brush fire in Monrovia Canyon Park that broke out around mid-day Monday. The park was still closed Tuesday morning when I checked.
On Monday I was standing on Canyon Boulevard when full parade of fire units from Monrovia and Arcadia rushed by. And they were in a big hurry. I was told later that there were also county fire units, and even units from as far away as Glendale, plus helicopters doing air drops. According to one comment I heard, firefighters were blessed with essentially no wind.
I heard that the fire may have broken out due to a fallen power line on the steep slopes directly above the ranger station at the entrance to the park.
