US: Authorities continue working to contain wildfire in Orange County, Calif., as of late Sept. 9

Crews continue working to contain a wildfire burning in parts of Orange County, California, as of late Sept. 9. The Airport Fire broke out the afternoon of Sept. 9 near Trabuco Canyon and Rose Canyon. It has burned around 2,198 hectares (5,,432 acres) and is 0 percent contained.

Authorities have issued evacuation orders for Robinson Ranch, Trabuco Highlands, and Trabuco Highland Apartment Complex. Evacuation warnings are in place for Rose Canyon Road, Trabuco Creek Road, Trabuco Canyon Road, Trabuco Oaks Drive, Joplin Loop, and Cook's Corner. Full details on the locations of evacuation orders and road closures can be found here. Officials have established a temporary evacuation shelter at Lake Forest Sports Complex.

Depending on the progression of the wildfires, the status of nearby roads could change over the coming hours and days. Authorities will likely close additional routes within the wildfire complex and evacuate more communities depending on fire activity and the needs of response operators. Residents' return will probably disrupt traffic flows after authorities lift evacuation orders. Power outages are likely in affected areas. Low visibility from smoke and possible ashfall could contribute to traffic delays and congestion in the region.
