Firefighters continue to squelch the Cobble Fire which began Tuesday evening in Eastvale. 

As of Tuesday evening CalFire/Riverside County Fire Department reported the blaze burned between five and seven acres of brush in the Santa Ana River bottom, near the 7700 block of Cobble Creek Drive. 

Wednesday morning it was reported that the fire grew to about 10 acres with heavy brush in the river bottom providing fuel for the flames and wind adding to its acceleration. By mid-morning, firefighters reported to have made good progress using "heavy streams," and should be done before noon Wednesday.

It was not immediately clear what caused the fire. No injuries have been reported and no evacuations have been ordered.
