Firefighters in southern California continue to battle small brushfires around Los Angeles, but fear fires could get larger in the coming days.

A small brush fire burned in the hills above La Habra, California on Monday afternoon, forcing the evacuation of several homes as a precaution.

Los Angeles County firefighters battled the blaze on the ground and in the air, using at least one helicopter.

Fire officials say that the lack of wind is helping keep the fires from growing, but changes in the weather in the coming days could change that.
