Wildfire in Acton, Palmdale forces thousands to evacuate; Red Cross opens shelters

(Updated July 29, 10:00 pm) There are two fires burning in the Acton and Agua Dulce area of Los Angeles County. The Briggs Incident and Crown Incident broke out in the Acton area this afternoon.

The Crown fire has burned approximately 500 acres, with 0% containment, and is burning towards portions of Leona Valley.

The Briggs fire has burned approximately 450 acres, with 0% containment. Strike teams, air tankers, and 400 personnel have responded to the fires

The fire forced the evacuation of Leona Valley, an unincorporated town of 2,200 people west of Palmdale.

Anne Ambrose, City of Palmdale says that they are evacuating 4,000 people in Palmdale — not including Leona Valley and Quartz Hill.

Animal Care and Control has deployed animal emergency response teams to the scene to assist with animal evacuations, if needed.
