A brush fire scorched about 145 acres in the hills above the exclusive Emerald Bay community in Laguna Beach today, threatening but not damaging any of the multimillion-dollar homes in the area, but prompting evacuation orders and forcing schools to close.
Residents in the Irvine Cove and Emerald Bay areas of Laguna Beach, California, were placed under an immediate evacuation order due to a dangerous brush fire Thursday, officials said. #brushfire #irvinecove #emeraldbay #lagunabeach
