A seasonal blast of Santa Ana winds has been keeping Southern California fire agencies on alert, reports the Associated Press.
The National Weather Service said dry, gusty winds would continue Saturday before dying down towards the end of the weekend.
Firefighters moved quickly Friday to control small brush fires across the region.
A fire that burned through patchy brush in the Fontana area below the Cajon Pass was held to about 10 to 15 acres, said a San Bernardino County fire spokesman. More than 150 firefighters were brought in from many agencies. No structures were damaged.
Division Chief John Salvate said there had been concerns the fire could reach some homes due to sustained winds of 25 mph and 35 mph and gusts of up to 50 mph earlier in the day.
