Firefighters make quick work of park blaze

Firefighters quickly doused a small brush fire in Costa Mesa Friday afternoon, according to authorities.

Crews responded to the blaze around 1:30 p.m. when it broke out in the north end of Talbert Regional Park below the bluffs in Fairview Park, fire officials said.

It took crews about 20 minutes to extinguish the flames that burned an area of brush about 40 feet wide by 30 feet long, Battalion Chief Kevin Diamond said.

Authorities are still investigating what sparked the fire, Diamond said.
