As three wildfires scorched thousands of acres in Southern California, another smaller blaze broke out in Los Angeles County and quickly burned hundreds of acres in just a few hours Tuesday.
The Apollo Fire started near West Aqueduct Road and 245th Street West in a northern area of the county about 30 miles west of Lancaster at around 11:45 a.m. and tore through 800 acres within three hours, according to Cal Fire, or the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
As of Tuesday evening, the fire was 100% contained, according to Cal Fire.
Its cause remains under investigation.
