Firefighters are battling a fire near a shooting range in South El Monte that started Saturday afternoon.
A worker who answered the phone shortly after 1 p.m. at LA Clay Shooting Sports Park, 831 Rosemead Blvd., said workers were evacuating all customers from the property where the fire started.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said on X-Day that it responded to a fire in the nearby Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, and that as of 1:30 p.m., the fire's advance was contained to 10 acres.
Several fire crews were working to contain it before it reached the surrounding vegetation.
A short video posted on X showed a massive plume of smoke rising 9 miles east of a fire at a Boyle Heights cold storage facility that has been burning since Wednesday.
Fire officials have not released any additional information about the South El Monte fire.
