Vegetation Fire; INC#0683; 10:48AM; 403 W Av 33; https://bit.ly/3MLNpPj; #LincolnHeights; PRELIM: LAFD ground crews are actively managing a series of small and slow-burning vegetation fires east of the Golden State Freeway / Arroyo Seco Parkway interchange, adjacent to the Arroyo Seco (Flood Control Channel) / Los Angeles River confluence. #LATraffic: In an effort to most quickly contain and extinguish the fires before they can cause infra/structure damage, the LAFD has asked the CHP to close multiple lanes on the north and southbound Golden State (I-5) Freeway and the the Arroyo Seco Parkway (SR110) near the I-5/SR110 Freeway interchange for an unknown duration. Motorists, expect congestion and delay, avoid the immediate area and consider an alternate route. Monitor traffic reports on news radio. This series of fires is considered suspicious and under active LAFD investigation as a possible criminal act.
