Source: LA Times

Orange County firefighters battled a brush fire Saturday that prompted evacuation warnings for some communities in the Carbon Canyon area of Brea.

The fire, which burned at least 60 acres, was reported shortly after 3 p.m. along Carbon Canyon Road, just east of Valencia Avenue, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.

The fire was burning northeast toward Olinda Village, leading to evacuation warnings for the communities of Olinda Village, Hollydale Mobile Home Park and Brea Hills. Authorities also issued a warning for the equestrian stables at El Rodeo Equestrian Center.

But by 5 p.m., the warnings remained only for Olinda Village and Hollydale Mobile Home Park.

every year now, practically every month, it seems, people living in California have to stay aware of wildfires. It's got to be nerve-wracking. We've been to California several times but never had to flee from a wildfire. It's an astoundingly beautiful state, so I understand why people want to live there. But geez, fires, floods, collapsing hillsides, mudslides, earthquakes. At least you usually don't get tornadoes. Or hurricanes.
