San Bernardino firefighters douse small brush fire amid windy, arid conditions
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KABC) -- Firefighters made quick work of a small brush fire that broke out Thursday in San Bernardino, which is one of many SoCal regions under a red flag warning.
The vegetation fire ignited in the Santa Ana river bottom near Waterman Avenue north of the 10 Freeway around 8:45 a.m., San Bernardino County fire officials said.
The blaze quickly chewed through 4-5 acres of medium brush before firefighters stopped its forward progression. The cause was under investigation.
