Firefighters were working to extinguish a vegetation fire off State Route 73 west of Laguna Canyon Road that had grown to about eight acres by Wednesday evening.
Around 3:03 p.m. authorities received a 911 call of three separate fires, each about a quarter-acre in size, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Sean Doran said. The fire is burning in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park but firefighters have largely stopped the fire on a ridge-top overlooking the toll road.
