Wealthy communities around Laguna Nigel in California are in danger of being engulfed in flames tonight as strong winds have caused blasts to erupt over 200 acres tonight.
There were more than a dozen oceanfront homes in Laguna Nigel, and nearby communities are issuing evacuation orders if the so-called “shore fire” continues.
Laguna Nigel is one of the most expensive cities in Orange County, located south of Los Angeles County. He is proud of his family’s median income of $108,537 as of 2019. The typical cost of a home is $1,294,837 per Zillow, but many homes near the beach can be much more expensive.
According to the Orange County Fire Department, the fire broke out Wednesday afternoon near the water treatment plant between Laguna Nigel and Laguna Beach. At around 5 pm the first one was 30 acres, but an hour later it had risen to over 200 acres. Hot amber entering the attic poses a particular problem for firefighters.
Forced evacuation orders have been issued for Coronado Pointe Drive, Vista Court and Via Las Rosas in Laguna Nigel. Lawmakers from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department went door-to-door helping people evacuate.
They estimate that there are about 100 structures in these areas. Voluntary eviction notice has been issued for the Balboa Nyes (Portafina) campus.
No injuries were reported.
Several launch helicopters helped put out the fire, and the crew assisted the fixed-wing aircraft.
Since then, an evacuation center has been established for those seeking help. Residents can visit the Crown Valley Community Center at 29751 Crown Valley Parkway for assistance. The Orange County Emergency Operations Center has also set up a public information hotline to answer questions from residents. You can reach us at 714-628-7085.
