Los Angeles firefighters stopped the spread of a 4-acre brush fire in the Sepulveda Basin Wednesday that left one person injured and disrupted Metro bus service.
The fire was reported shortly after noon near Victory and Balboa boulevards in Van Nuys, initially burning about 1.5 acres, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Flames engulfed multiple palm trees and threatened the Metro G (Orange) Line busway, leading to the suspension of service between the Woodley and White Oak stations, the department said.
