Brush fire burns near homes in Orange County

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.
