The fire, dubbed the Remsen Fire, could be seen by drivers as early as 5 p.m. No structures were threatened.
By 7:10 p.m., the flames were fully contained and mop-up operations were in progress.
California Highway Patrol officials shut down one lane on the southbound side of the 14 Freeway. Sierra Highway at Newhall Avenue in Santa Clarita was also closed to traffic as Los Angeles County firefighters moved equipment.
