Firefighters put out brush fire just off 405 Freeway in Bel-Air

A brush fire was burning just off the 405 Freeway in Bel-Air Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

The blaze was reported at 1:55 p.m. near Mulholland Drive and the 405 Freeway and was estimated to be just an 1/8 acre but burning at a moderate rate, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. More than 60 firefighters put it out in 42 minutes with no injuries reported or structures damaged.

At about 2:30 p.m., aerial footage showed five fire engines and at least a dozen firefighters on the side of the freeway while a few others hosed down an area of shrubbery that appeared blackened and burnt. Around the same time, LAFD said it wasn't clear what impact the incident could have on traffic along the 405 Freeway as some firefighters were still mopping up a few remaining hot spots.

No other details have been released by LAFD.
