Yeah, Metro Fire from Battalion 4, here at the location of southbound 405 Freeway at the 105 transition. What we have is approximately one acre of brush burning alongside the freeway. At this time we have, you know, sufficient resources on scene. We will need the southbound 405 closed at this point, along with the 105 transition to the 405 southbound closed as well. Thank you.
