Brush Fire in Ladera Ranch

Listening to the Orange County Fire Authority working a 3-5 acre brush fire in nearby Ladera Ranch.  Three strike teams have been ordered along with Helicopter 1 which is starting water drops.  Not much wind today so I imagine they'll be able to get control of it fairly easily.

A few weeks ago another fire in that area was started by, of all things, a golfer who hit a rock with a titanium club and the sparks started a small fire.

UPDATE:  One Type-1 strike team has been cancelled.  Sounds like they're stopped the forward progress of the fire.

I was standing several hundred feet from the fire. It was contained within an hour. About 20 units on scene (11-12 of which were main apparatus the rest support) as well as several police units.
