Thanks, Not good news, hope the winds stay down and they knock this one down quick.. It's starting to dry out here in California pretty good from the Bay Area southward.

Brush fire burns near homes in Orange County

The Associated Press

Article Launched: 03/11/2007 10:36:25 AM PDT

ANAHEIM HILLS, Calif.- A fast-moving brush fire scorched 150 acres of parched hillside Sunday about a half-mile from a housing development but did not threaten any buildings, Orange County fire officials said.

The unincorporated area where the fire burned is bounded by Anaheim Hills and the city of Orange.

"It is close but there is no immediate threat to homes," said Steven Miller, spokesman for the Orange County Fire Authority. "It is headed toward some homes. There is no order to evacuate at this point."

It's Orange County, but they don't say where.

Looks like near Anaheim Hills and city of Orange near the hills.

40+ MPH winds high temps etc..

I have to say that this is the first year in a while that we havent had to worry about it as much in New Mexico. Hope they get that knocked out soon.

Brush fire burns near homes in Orange County

http://www.fox6.com/news/state/story.aspx?content_id=CCBD391F-5819-4BC6-891F-E8B04D9A6310&rss=state

ANAHEIM HILLS, Calif. (AP) - A fast-moving brush fire has already scorched 150 acres of parched hillside today about a half-mile from a housing development in Orange County.

So far, the blaze has not threatened any buildings but 35 mile-per-hour winds are keeping firefighters watchful.

Orange County fire officials say the unincorporated area where the fire is burning is bounded by Anaheim Hills and the city of Orange.

About 30 fire units are on the scene and 30 more are on their way.

Orange County Fire Authority spokesman Steven Miller said the good news is that most homes in the area, located near Santiago Oaks Regional Park, are constructed with noncombustible roofs.

Like much of Southern California, the area is under a red flag alert, indicating a high fire danger.

The fire may have been started by a vehicle fire on the southbound 241 Windy Ridge Toll Plaza.
