A wind-driven wildfire on a hillside above the southern California city of San Bernardino burned several homes and forced evacuations before it was brought under control on Tuesday, firefighters reported.
Video from local TV station KTLA 5 showed at least five residences had burned after the fast-moving brush fire jumped into up-market homes overlooking the city of 220,000 located around 55 miles (88 km) east of Los Angeles.
The fire began Monday and burned 100 acres (40 hectares)before it was largely contained, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection or CAL FIRE reported.
