LOS ANGELES—A brush fire raging along a Southern California riverbed prompted the evacuation of two nearby amusement parks on Sunday, June 9, but no homes were threatened and no serious injuries were reported, authorities said.
The blaze erupted at about noon in the Valencia community of Santa Clarita, about 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles, and had scorched about 40 acres of grass and scrub along the Santa Clara River by late afternoon, according to a dispatcher from the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
