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.

If the stars align and all the pieces fit, a native wild animal corridor will wend its way over six miles from the Santa Ana Mountains in the Cleveland National Forest to the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, hopefully sooner than later.
The idea is to get wild animals, such as bobcats and gray foxes, from the national forest in the east to intermingle with the locals in the west, broadening their mating range and stopping the deleterious effects of interbreeding.
