A brush fire in Irwindale that has scorched nearly 30 acres and threatened structures in a storage area at a nearby brewery is 50 percent contained Friday.
The fire was reported about 5:40 p.m. Thursday in the Santa Fe Dam Recreation area, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
A second alarm was called at 6:20 p.m. as the flames moved toward a storage area at the MillerCoors brewery, a dispatch supervisor said.
Five helicopters made water drops to assist firefighters on the ground and by 8 p.m. firefighters had a good handle on the blaze and air units were released, the dispatcher said.
A civilian who suffered smoke inhalation is the only injury reported, according to CBS2.
