The Crown Fire was a wildfire that scorched 13,918 acres (5,632 ha) of land in Los Angeles County, California.[1] The second largest fire of the 2010 California wildfire season, the fire also destroyed 10 residences.[2]

As the fire advanced on July 30, it jumped the California Aqueduct and progressed towards homes in Palmdale.[4]

The cause of the blaze was ultimately traced to a lot in Agua Dulce where workers were using a hammer to extract bolts from a tire rim and created sparks.[3]
