Early Friday morning the Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatched to a fire in San Dimas, California at 4:03 a.m. The LA County Fire Department was on scene alongside the Angeles National Forest crew fighting what has been dubbed the San Dimas Fire.
As of Nov. 6 at 2:35 p.m., the fire had burned 100 acres and was 25% contained according to Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Sean Ferguson. The weather has played a key role in helping firefighters contain the fire, Ferguson said.
“One could say we are lucky in that it started today and not yesterday, it would have been a much more difficult fight had it been yesterday with the increased temperatures and wind factors.”
With the decreased temperatures Friday and the likelihood of rain this weekend, the LACFD is hopeful that the San Dimas Fire will soon be contained. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the San Dimas Fire was 45% contained by 6:16 p.m.

Have they determined a cause? I think that’s important for residents to know.
According to CAL FIRE, the cause is still under investigation.
