O.C. Register Staff Writer Kimberly Edds reports:

With 9 miles to go, fire crews are working tonight to finish buttoning-up the perimeter of the Anaheim Hills, Corona, Yorba Linda and Brea brush fires.

The fires, which merged, are 60 percent contained.

Ten strike teams, or 50 fire engines, were relieved of duty today and a large number of firefighters will demobilize tomorrow. Two firefighters sustained minor injuries today.

Damage assessment teams from the Orange County and Los Angeles county fire departments remain in the burn areas, as they try and get a handle on the extent of destruction.

Firefighting costs as of tonight have crept up to $10,719,066, according to officials.

The Riverside County division of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is investigating the cause and origin of the fire, but has yet to release findings. Because the fire holds no smoking gun — no obvious cause — investigators have to tediously sift through the entire area near Green River for signs of ignition, including Items as small as match heads.

Fire officials are also looking into reports of water delivery problems in the Yorba Linda area. The Yorba Linda Water District recently unveiled a new headquarters and just broke ground on $11.2 million project to replace a 95-year-old reservoir, one of the oldest in Orange County.

At the Cascade Apartments in Anaheim, as well as other Anaheim and Yorba housing tracts earlier today, firefighters sifted through rubble to retrieve residents’ belongings. Those who have lost apartments were given the opportunity to move into unoccupied units.

Tomorrow, Cascade residents will be allowed to go back in themselves at staggered time blocks.

Evacuation centers at Katella and Valencia high schools were closed today. Firefighters are encouraging displaced and/or distraught residents to visit an assistance center being set up at the East Anaheim Gymnasium, 8165 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road, which will provide insurance, social, mental and home assessment services under one roof.
