The 2002 Copper Fire was a wildfire in the U.S. state of California's Los Angeles County. After igniting on June 5 near the city of Santa Clarita, the fire burned for a week and consumed 23,407 acres (9,472 hectares), damaging wildlife habitat and historic structures in the Angeles National Forest before it was fully contained on June 12. The fire destroyed more than two dozen buildings and resulted in at least eight firefighter injuries. The government eventually sued two contractors whose equipment and negligence it argued had sparked the fire during construction work, resulting in a jury award in its favor of over $36 million.
