The fire at Harbor Park was put out at 6:05 p.m. after burning five acres, LAFD spokesman Eric Scott said.
No structures were burned and no one was injured, he said.
Firefighters will remain in the park for several hours mopping up the area.
*UPDATE at 10:55 p.m. (too late to fix tomorrow's newspaper): The total amount of land burned in this fire was actually 20 acres, according to an LAFD tweet. That's four times as much as the Breeze was told when the fire was knocked down.
