Wind Spreads Wildfire Near Southern California Suburbs

ANAHEIM, CA (AP) -- A wildfire pushed by winds quickly spread over 800 acres of the Cleveland National Forest a few miles east of Orange County suburbs on Monday.

No homes were immediately involved but State Route 241 was closed in the area of the blaze, east of Anaheim Hills. More than 200 federal, state and county firefighters battled the fire, said forest spokeswoman Joan Wynn.

The cause of the fire was under investigation, Wynn said.

Winds were blowing at 35 mph, and the smoke could be seen from downtown Los Angeles, 50 miles away.

Cleveland National Forest sprawls over 460,000 acres in segments of wilderness from Orange County south through Riverside and San Diego counties.
