Update CONTAINED Brush Fire; INC#0887; 04:43PM; 17325 W Signature Dr; https://bit.ly/2BBSs2N; Granada Hills; With water drops from LAFD Air Ops, firefighters anchored the heel of the fire (used water or fuel removal to keep the fire from backing away from the ignition point), flanked up both sides (laying down hose and extinguishing the sides of the fire), and then pinched (hose lines met around the other side, extinguishing the final advancing flames at the head of the fire). It took 70 LAFD firefighters and #LAFDCrew3 58 minutes to extinguish the active flames, which after further survey, proved to be 1.3 acres total. Crews will remain on scene approximately 2 hours to "mop up" the remaining hot spots and smoldering material within the burn footprint. Firefighters skillfully protected nearby homes in the nearby neighborhood. No reported injuries. The cause of the fire is currently unknown; FS 18; Batt 15; Valley Bureau; Council District 12; BC10 BC12 BC14 BC15 BC17 CM42 CM43 CW3A E103 E107 E18 E275 E28 E287 E290 E60 E7 E70 E75 E8 E87 E90 E91 E98 EM15 H1 H3 H4 H6 HA1 HA3 HA4 HA6 HE1 RA18 RA87 RA90 T75 T87 T90; CH8; 13; -Nicholas Prange
