A 10-acre brush fire burning on the east side of the Sepulveda Pass near Bel-Air has prompted an evacuation warning for the residents south of the 1500 block of Casiano Road, north of Moraga Drive, east of Sepulveda Boulevard and west of Chalon Road, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart.

Additionally, the southbound 405 Freeway was closed down just north of the Getty.

The fire was burning in heavy brush with a moderate rate of spread about a mile from the eastern edge of the area scorched by the Palisades Fire.

Winds in the area were out of the north at 8-15 mph, with gusts to 25 mph.
