episode_narrativeThe canyon fire began shortly after 1300 PST on the 25th near Highway 91 in Orange County. The fire spread rapidly due to dry fuel conditions and very low humidity, and fire fighting efforts were hindered by a transition from light Santa Ana Winds to onshore flow. This initially pushed the fire into the foothills before sending it back eastward toward Corona. By 2100 PST on the 25th the fire was estimated at 1700+ acres and was threatening residences. Winds calmed over the ensuing days and the fire was quickly contained at 2662 acres. The cause of the wildfire was determined to be a roadside flare.
