Firefighters watch as fire rips through heavy brush on day two of the Airport Fire in Orange County on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024. Evacuation orders were expanded, including the city of Wrightwood.
The fast-moving Airport fire, which broke out in Trabuco Canyon near Rancho Santa Margarita on Monday, Sept. 9, swelled to 22,376 acres Tuesday, fire officials said. “The cause of the fire was a spark from heavy equipment,” McGovern said on Monday. “After placing a load of boulders, the operators began seeing smoke coming from the area of the loader’s basket.”
