Officials lift evacuations amid LA-area brush fire
Officials reopened most freeways shut down during a brush fire that forced evacuations near Los Angeles.
Residents of a Glendale neighborhood were allowed back home last night.
Only the northbound lanes of State Route 2 remained closed this morning as crews mopped up at the scene of the fire that caused major traffic tie-ups yesterday.
No injuries or structure damage was reported as a result of the flames that charred dry brush and palm trees near a freeway interchange just north of downtown LA.
About 100 homes were evacuated at the height of the fire.
The blaze was less than 10 miles from Dodger Stadium, where fans at yesterday’s game could see a huge plume of smoke.
The cause is under investigation.
