Firefighters are getting a handle on a 5.8-acre wildfire in the Santa Anita Canyon area near Arcadia.
Crews have been battling the Chantry Fire since Sunday afternoon. By Monday morning, the fire was 50% contained, officials said.
Angles Nation Forest spokesperson Dana Dirks told KNX News the steep and rocky terrain has been a challenge for fire crews.
“U.S. Forest Service, L.A. County Fire Department, Sierra Madre, and Arcadia fire departments are assisting at this time,” she said.
