LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say a man has been arrested on suspicion of arson after a fast-moving brush fire burned near Los Angeles homes and closed a freeway off-ramp. City fire officials say the blaze Saturday in San Pedro was initially reported as a garbage fire. The flames moved swiftly through thick vegetation near a residential cul-de-sac. The Los Angeles Times reports that at the fire's peak, more than 100 firefighters from 19 companies were on the scene. ___Information from: Los Angeles Times, http://www.latimes.com/
