Firefighters Quench Small Brush Fire
A slow-moving brush fire scorched a half-acre of vegetation in Anaheim Hills on Monday.
Investigators were looking into the cause of the fire, which started about 3 p.m. in a field near Serrano Avenue and Canyon Rim Road. Witnesses reported seeing juveniles in the area before the fire.
“Who knows what they were playing with out there?” said Maria Sabol, a spokeswoman for the Anaheim Fire Department.
About 50 firefighters took 45 minutes to contain the fire, which caused only minor damage and involved no buildings. “We got a pretty good handle on it pretty quickly,” Sabol said.
