@lacountyfd responded Wednesday morning May 27, 2026 to a reported vegetation fire in the 27100 block of Mulholland Highway near Malibu and Calabasas.
The fire, later named the Jasper Fire, was initially reported at approximately 3 acres burning in grass and moving uphill. As firefighters accessed the area, the fire expanded to an estimated 5 acres with a moderate rate of spread.
A large air and ground response was ordered, including multiple firefighting helicopters, fixed wing air tankers, an air attack aircraft, and additional aerial resources. Law enforcement agencies also assisted with traffic control near Las Virgenes Road and Lost Hills Road as crews worked to contain the blaze.
By approximately 10:17am incident command reported significant progress, allowing all fixed wing air tankers and air attack aircraft to be released from the incident. Dozer resources were also canceled as containment efforts improved.
Forward progress of the fire was stopped at approximately 10:51am Officials later confirmed the final burn area at 5.6 acres.
No injuries, structure damage, or evacuation orders were immediately reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Interesting to note; there was a guy out there yesterday driving around a little tractor mower clearing all the grass along las virgenes rd and the grass was similarly freshly cleared around the power distribution station and power line poles right next to where this fire started. It’s almost as if the power companies contractors who are supposed to be creating defensible space have something to do with it

Am I alone in wishing that entire area was controlled burned to prevent wind driven fires in the fall from connecting from 101 to the ocean. Maybe it’s my PTSD talking.
