2 days agoGrowing brush fire triggers evacuation warnings in Orange County
Firefighters battled a 60-acre brush fire in Orange County, prompting evacuation warnings for several communities.
Evacuation warnings are in effect from 6 p.m. Thursday through 11 a.m. Sunday in areas near recent burn scars, due to the risk of mud and debris flows. This includes areas near the Palisades, Eaton, Kenneth, Sunset and Hurst fires that burned in January's firestorm. Topanga Canyon Boulevard between Pacific Coast Highway and Grand View Drive will close at 10 p.m. Thursday due to the high potential for heavy debris flows, according to the California Department of Transportation.
