Local authorities said on Sunday they are probing into the cause of a brush fire that engulfed more than 4 square km of vegetation near Los Angeles.
The fire started on Sunday afternoon in Angeles National Forest on the San Gabriel Mountains near Glendora, 37 km east of downtown Los Angeles, prompting an evacuation of a campgrounds and rehabilitation center in the area.
Authorities have dispatched 200 firemen and nine water-dropping tankers, Angeles National Forest spokeswoman L'Tanga Wats said.
