Fire crews are fighting to get the upper hand on a fire burning near Blythe.

The Bureau of Land Management says the Edison Fire has grown to more than 1,000 acres. A BLM spokesperson says that a downed powerline sparked the blaze.

The fire is zero percent contained, and crews say that thick vegetation is making it difficult to fight the fire. Firefighters are back-burning to try to slow the progress of the fire.
