Firefighters battle brush fire near Hansen Dam

Officials with the Los Angeles Fire Department said the Hansen Dam fire has grown to 8-10 acres, and was slowly creeping forward, though fire crews were getting a handle on the blaze. 

The fire has grown to approximately six acres amid light winds as of 7:15 p.m.

After pulling water directly from the dam, firefighters circle back and dump it over the blaze to contain and extinguish flare ups. The LA County Fire helicopter can drop up to 1,000 gallons at a time. Several helicopters are working the brusher. 

Fire crews are using water from the dam to help battle the flames.

According to LAFD, there is no ember cast nor are there any structures threatened.
