The fire that started at the Yorba Linda border has jumped the 91 Freeway and is burning toward Anaheim Hills.

At least 16 homes in Yorba Linda have burned, and officials say the blaze is moving west. Several homes were also burned in Corona.

A fire in Brea has surrounded Brea Olinda High School and  is burning around the 57 Freeway.
