Helicopter diverted from Butler II in Crestline blaze

Thirty firefighters battled a house fire that spread into about a quarter acre of surrounding brush this morning.
The blaze at the corner of Edelweiss and Dorn drives was reported at 6:59 a.m., said California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Capt. Debbie Chapman.

One helicopter assigned to the Butler II Fire was diverted to the Crestline blaze, but it was unknown if it made any drops, Chapman said.
The blaze was under control in 20 minutes.
There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire was under investigation.
