Several fire engines responded to the fire, which broke out at about 1:45 p.m. at 2685 Windmill View Rd.

A fire helicopter dropped water on the brush fire while firefighters stood at the edge of one homeowner's yard, using hosing to contain the fire.

As of 2:20 p.m., crews appeared in control, pouring water on remnant hot spots along the hillside.
