At last report Thursday morning, CalFire and other agencies had a handle on a brush fire that has burned 175 acres in Moreno Valley since it started last night. The so-called 'Merwin Fire' began just before 9:00pm Wednesday night near the corner of Merwin Street and Campbell Avenue, south of Alessandro Blvd. and east of Redlands Blvd. As of Thursday morning, the fire was 25 percent contained, and firefighters were confident that they would be able to keep the blaze mostly under control until full containment. KVCR's Ken Vincent had other details on the fire in KVCR's Morning Edition this morning:
