Santa Clarita Valley brush fire grows to 1,100 acres and is 49% contained
About 700 firefighters on Sunday continued to battle a brush fire in the Santa Clarita Valley that has grown to more than 1,100 acres, officials said.
The Sage fire is 49% contained, said Inspector Gustavo Medina of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
A small home caught fire in the burn area Sunday, but it was unclear whether that was the result of embers from the brush fire, Medina said.
No other structures or homes have been damaged and are no longer threatened. The fast-moving brush fire forced about 2,000 residents to evacuate when it broke out shortly after noon Saturday.
