A cleanup is scheduled for Monday morning at a homeless encampment where a fire spread to brush last week in the San Fernando Valley.
The cleanup, already planned before Tuesday’s fire in the Sepulveda Basin area, is expected to begin at 7 a.m. Aerial video showed cleanup crews at a staging area early Monday.
The 10-acre brush fire forced a closure on the nearby Metro Orange Line busway. Burbank Boulevard between Balboa Boulevard and the 405 Freeway was temporarily shut down.
No injuries were reported.
The fire burned brush and left behind the charred remains at the homeless encampment near Victory Boulevard. Encampment resident Carla Saez said she was told people must be out of the area Monday morning.
The fire started in the encampment, but the cause remains under investigation.
