1 a.m.

More than 250 firefighters are on scene at a wild fire that broke out on Fourth of July at the Irvine Regional Park.  As of 1 a.m. Friday, Orange County firefighters said at least 100 acres have burned and containment has been made.  Officials are confident that they are getting the "upper hand" on this fire and that no one has been injured thus far.

The fire was reported at 3:16 p.m. Sunday afternoon over on Jamboree Road and Chapman Avenue. No structures are currently threatened and it is still unclear just how the fire started.

Remember "fire season" is arriving in Southern California.

Be careful, and be alert of your surroundings.
