A SMALL BRUSH FIRE IN MONTEREY WAS CONTAINED QUICKLY THIS MORNING. THE HIGHWAY 68 AND AGUAJITO ROAD BLAZE BROKE OUT AROUND 3 A-M, WHEN A TREE FELL ON A POWER LINE, DROPPING THE ENERGIZED LINE TO THE GROUND WHERE IT SET THE NEARBY VEGETATION ON FIRE. FIREFIGHTERS WITH MULTIPLE AGENCIES RESPONDED AND KEPT THAT BLAZE DOWN TO ABOUT A QUARTER-ACRE.
