A person suspected of starting a wildfire in Burbank was arrested Tuesday morning, police said, as firefighters responded to the blaze that led to voluntary evacuation orders in the area.
The fire was burning along a hillside near Sunset Canyon and Orange Grove Avenue, according to Burbank police, who said a person was arrested on suspicion of “intentional lighting.” It was reported at 10 a.m. and was estimated to be only one to two acres in size, the Verdugo Fire Communications Center in Glendale said around 10:40 a.m.
Just before 11:30 a.m., police said the fire’s progress had stopped.
Police previously said homes along Country Club Drive were under voluntary evacuation orders. Meanwhile, first responders from the Los Angeles Fire Department and LA County Fire Department assisted in the extinguishment.
No other details have been released by authorities.
