Burning Car Sparks Vegetation Fire in Orange County
A vehicle fire ignited a vegetation fire near southern California’s Santiago Canyon on Thursday, October 24, the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) said.
This video, shared by the OCFA, shows a helicopter dropping water over the five-acre blaze. The OCFA said it was working with the Orange City Fire Department to put out the fire, which forced the closure of nearby roads.
The National Weather Service forecast dry and windy weather for the area, making “favorable conditions” for rapidly growing fires.
Several other wildfires were burning in California, including the 10,000-acre Kincade Fire and the Old Water Fire that’s burning more than 50 acres in San Bernardino. Credit: @OCFA_PIO via Storyful
