Crown Fire
2010 wildfire in Southern California
- July 29, 2010 (2010-07-29) –
- August 3, 2010 (2010-08-03)
The Crown Fire was a wildfire that scorched 13,918 acres (5,632 ha) of land in Los Angeles County, California.[1] The second largest fire of the 2010 California wildfire season, the fire also destroyed 10 residences.[2]
As the fire advanced on July 30, it jumped the California Aqueduct and progressed towards homes in Palmdale.[4]
The cause of the blaze was ultimately traced to a lot in Agua Dulce where workers were using a hammer to extract bolts from a tire rim and created sparks.[3]
