Brush fire in Chino Hills forces 71 Freeway closure
Both sides of the 71 Freeway were closed on Wednesday afternoon in Chino Hills as crews battled a brush fire.
The blaze was reported before 2:20 p.m.
The California Highway Patrol said all lanes of the 71 Freeway were closed at the Euclid Avenue onramp in Chino Hills.
According to Caltrans, the closure caused a traffic backup to the 91 Freeway in Corona on the northbound lanes, and to Pine Avenue on the southbound lanes.
The CHP urged travelers to avoid the area. It's not yet clear when the freeway will reopen.
No additional details, including acreage, were immediately made available.
