TRABUCO CANYON, Calif.—Firefighters worked through the night and this morning, monitoring and constructing containment lines in order to limit the damage of a wildfire that broke out in the Cleveland National Forest near the Riverside-Orange County line that has consumed approximately 553 acres.
Overnight, fire crews observed little fire activity while constructing containment lines. Ground crews assisted by bulldozers will work to extend those lines Thursday and utilize three water-dropping helicopters to assist in extinguishing hot spots. Air tankers were also on stand-by to respond if needed.
