Update #RockyFire Brush Fire; INC#1047; 08:45PM; 23000 W Santa Susana Pass Rd; internal:/; Chatsworth; The @LAFD @VCFD and @LACoFD fully contained the fire to 8.64 (eight-point-six-four) acres of grass and brush, with no structure damage; LAFD only will remain at scene this evening to check for hot spots; The fire's cause was determined to be the passenger vehicle that tumbled off Santa Susana Pass Rd (not the freeway), toppling a power pole and downing energized high voltage wires before catching fire; The vehicle's sole occupant, an adult M driver was able to climb out of the burning vehicle and up a brush covered hillside to the safety of a passing LAPD patrol unit, which removed him from greater harm as the flames spread; The injured driver, with 2nd and 3rd degree burns to hands, arms and legs was subsequently transferred at a remote location to the care of LAFD Paramedics who transported him to an area hospital in serious condition; No other injuries were reported; Santa Susana Pass Rd will remain closed in both directions between Rocky Peak Rd and Iverson Rd until firefighting and utility work is complete; There is no estimate of closure duration; All WB lanes of 118 Freeway are open; Until as late as 10:00 PM tonight, two lanes of the EB 118 Freeway will be closed between Rocky Peak Road and Topanga Canyon Blvd until LAFD freewayside operations are complete; Motorists who are traveling eastbound to depart Simi Valley are encouraged to remain on the 118 Freeway, and NOT attempt to use Kuehner Drive or Santa Susana Pass Road as a shortcut, as the EB onramp at Rocky Peak remains closed, and all such motorists will be required to go WESTBOUND on the 118 Freeway only; See LA County (West Valley) CHP Log #2446 and Ventura County (Moorpark) CHP Log #249 at http://cad.chp.ca.gov/ for additional information; FS 96; Batt 15; Valley Bureau; Council District 12; CH8; 13; Brian Humphrey
