205 acres is relatively small compared to the monsters we see lately, but any fire in OC is a risk. Glad it is contained.
The real question is whether this triggered any Public Safety Power Shutoffs in the area. Did the local utility cut power to prevent further ignitions?
The cause is still under investigation. If this was utility caused, it will be interesting to see how the liability and insurance costs hit the local rate base.
