Los Angeles County Fire Department reported a second‑alarm brush fire burning on Monday, August 10, 2026, near the intersection of West Avenue H and North 90th Street in the Antelope Valley. The blaze had consumed roughly 120 acres by mid‑afternoon and was described as threatening nearby structures.
Fire crews were first dispatched after the fire was reported before 4 p.m. The incident expanded rapidly, reaching the 120‑acre mark by 4:50 p.m., prompting the activation of a second alarm to bring additional resources to the scene.
The department’s response focused on containing the flame line and protecting homes and other buildings in the vicinity. Crews employed standard brush‑fire tactics, establishing fire breaks and applying water and retardant where the fire approached the edge of the developed area.
The fire burned in a region of the Antelope Valley that is prone to dry vegetation during the summer months, a factor that can accelerate the spread of brush fires. Officials emphasized the importance of maintaining a safe distance and avoiding any activity that could spark additional ignitions while the blaze remains active.
As of the latest update, the fire continued to be active, and firefighters remained on the ground working to achieve full containment. No injuries or fatalities have been reported, and authorities have not released an estimated time for complete control of the fire.
The second‑alarm status indicated that the fire required more resources than the initial response, leading to the mobilization of additional crews and equipment to the scene. Personnel from nearby stations in the Antelope Valley joined the effort to strengthen suppression activities and to keep the fire from reaching residential areas.
