A series of lightning strikes sparked several small fires in Los Angeles and Kern County this weekend. Water dropping aircraft was used at Little Rock Reservoir and the other along Mt Emma Road at approximately 85th street east. US Forest Service, LA County and LA City helicopters were called in to work the fires which were held to under 10 acres.
Kern County battled a lightning sparked fire along 30th Street west and Backus Rd, crews were able to contain this blaze to approximately 30 acres.
Lightning formed for 3 days over the desert floor as mosit subtropical mositure came up from the south and high temperatures hit the century mark. The air mass should start to dry out this week and demiminish the threat of thunderstorms. Photos Copyright Jeff Zimmerman, Zimmerman Media LLC
