Juno Fire burns 188 acres in Antelope Valley

With most eyes on the Summit Fire, which had burned nearly 2,700 acres by Saturday evening, a second fire erupted in the Antelope Valley.

The Juno Fire on Saturday burned 188 acres near Lancaster Road at Munz Ranch Road, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Earlier in the day, residents were warned about possible evacuations, but those warnings were lifted by Saturday evening, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire agency.

The larger Summit Fire in Antelope Valley was 8 percent contained on Saturday night. One residence was damaged and a minor structure was destroyed, according to an incident update. The Summit blaze ignited shortly before 1 pm Friday afternoon in Llano near Jesus Canyon Road and East Avenue Z

The blaze led to evacuation orders in Llano. “The potential for rapid fire growth with erratic fire behavior,” said the county update, “remains high.”
