Firefighters in Santa Barbara County on Tuesday night were gaining the upper hand in their efforts to battle a brush fire that had burned 200 acres. 
The advance of the blaze was stopped, and crews from the Santa Barbara County Fire Department and U.S. Forest Service were cutting a containment line around the perimeter, fire officials said.
Most of the fire crews were expected to be released by midnight, with the remaining firefighters working through the night mopping up hotspots, the Fire Department said. The blaze broke out around 4 p.m in Aliso Canyon near Highway 166.
No injuries were reported, and no structures were damaged. The cause was under investigation.
