Fire commanders on the ground had called a second alarm after the blaze broke out about 6:15 p.m. to protect structures that appeared to be threatened. But the additional units were staging in the area because the structures did not appear to be immediately threatened, the Fire Department said.

Fire crews on the ground were being aided by water-dropping helicopters.

No other details were immediately available.

[Updated 6:47 p.m.: Flames have been knocked down and some firefighters were being released, the Fire Department said.]
