Air and ground crews working in 90-plus-degree heat put out a fire Friday that scorched about seven acres of grass and brush in the Sepulveda Basin area.

The fire was reported about 9:45 a.m. Friday in the 5600 block of Woodley Avenue, north of Burbank Boulevard, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The flames moved quickly amid 10 mile-per-hour winds, but crews mounted a well-coordinated attack and had the fire out by 11:08 a.m., Humphrey said.

No injuries were reported and no structures were threatened, he said, adding that firefighters would remain at the scene into the afternoon mopping up and making sure no hot spots reignite the fire.

The cause of the blaze was under investigation, Humphrey said.
