…and another fire burning, this above Duarte. Grew to about 50 acres in only a half hour but once it hit the top of the ridge it’s slowed way down. No homes threatened and @LACOFD is doing a great job knocking it down from the air @CBSLA pic.twitter.com/Ab8tNxbFbZ

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The Fish Fire was the second noted brush fire on Sunday, joining the Sheep Fire, which has grown to more than 900 acres near Wrightwood.
