Firefighters today put out a vegetation fire that extended into the back patio of a Woodland Hills home, a fire official said.
Firefighters were dispatched at 11:45 a.m. to 5124 Allentown Place, in the hills above Ventura Boulevard and west of Encino.
They found a grass fire threatening to ignite a eucalyptus grove, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles City Fire Department.
Backed by at least one helicopter, they had the fire out within 19 minutes of their arrival. Although the fire extended into the back patio of a home, there were no reports of any injuries.
There were no evacuations and it was not immediately known how many acres burned, Humphrey said.
