ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters say they are making good progress against a wind-driven wildfire that is burning in the hills of Orange County.
Orange County Fire Authority spokeswoman Lynnette Round says firefighters are beginning to get a line around the blaze, which broke out Tuesday night in Anaheim Hills. It has burned about 40 acres.
Firefighters have managed to keep the blaze on the east side of State Route 241, which is functioning as a firebreak.
Round says some 120 firefighters from Orange County, Anaheim Hills and the city of Orange are battling the fire. She says a water-dropping helicopter from Los Angeles County has been requested.
Winds are blowing at 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.
Round says no homes are immediately threatened.
