ANAHEIM, Calif. — Firefighters battling a 60-acre blaze in Orange County are keeping an eye on the weather.
Capt. Greg McKeown of the Orange County Fire Authority says 50-mph wind gusts are expected later today and could fan the smoldering blaze back to life. He says wind will be the major factor that determines whether the fire grows.
The blaze erupted Tuesday night and is burning brushy hills in an unincorporated area near Anaheim. It’s 10 percent contained and no homes are immediately threatened.
About 200 firefighters and a helicopter are at the scene.
