The Trabuco Canyon Airport Fire
This fire was touched off yesterday from sparks when an Orange County Public Works crew were using heavy equipment to move large boulders. Efforts to put out the flare-up failed, and the fire quickly began to consume hundreds of acres along the hillsides of the Trabuco Canyon area near the City of Rancho Santa Margarita. At about 5 pm yesterday (Monday), the fire had consumed about 700 acres. By this morning the fire had consumed some 9,300 acres and is still 0% contained.
