An early morning brush fire in California prompted evacuations for parts of the Laguna Beach area and closed a section of the southern stretch of the iconic Pacific Coast Highway.
Brian Fennessy, fire chief of the Orange County Fire Authority, said at a morning news conference the blaze had reached 7 to 10 acres but was looking "very good. Spread has slowed."
Throughout the morning, helicopters dropped water, air tankers dropped fire-reducing retardant and fire engines remained stationed in front of nearly every home in the area.
