The Meadow Ridge fire near the Newhall Pass was declared ‘knocked down’ about 8 a.m. after burning only 12 acres, said Inspector Ron Haralson of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

The fire, which broke out about 4 a.m., was no longer active, he said.

‘We’ve got crews in the area working to extinguish hot spots, but we don’t see that fire getting any larger than it is right now,’ Haralson said.
