Firefighters were hard at work on several fronts on Sunday, trying to make progress before another day of extreme heat across Southern California. Fire crews battled a brush fire that broke out north of Moreno Valley. The fire started about 3 p.m. near the area of Reche Canyon Road and Haugen Drive, according to Cal Fire and Riverside County Fire Department officials. The fire burned about 40 acres by 5 p.m. and spread to 153 acres within three hours. By about 8 p.m., Cal Fire officials said the blaze was at 60 percent containment after more than 200 firefighters and a water-dropping helicopter helped battled the fire.
