Yorba Linda, CA
Tonight, it seems like fires are breaking out all over Southern California.

The newest blaze appears not to be "horsin' around...and fire fighters are on the scene hoping for a quick take down.

Over in Yorba  Linda off of Winners Circle Drive and Quarter Horse Drive the aptly named "Quarter Horse Fire" has fire fighters doing a late shift tonight this three day holiday weekend.
