LAGUNA NIGUEL, Orange County, California (KABC) - More than a dozen homes overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Laguna Niguel are now engulfed in flames as a fast-moving brush fire is spreading rapidly amid strong winds.
The fire broke out Wednesday afternoon (about 2:30 pm) between Laguna Niguel and Laguna Beach near a [waste] water treatment plant, according to the Orange County Fire Authority, and quickly erupted in size.
The fire exploded from about 30 acres around 5:00 pm to 200 an hour later, according to authorities.
The strong winds are reportedly blowing embers into the attics of homes, making it harder for firefighters to get through.

Schadenfreude
LYRICS (Dead Kennedys' "Forest Fire")
No junk food, just earthly goods
I ate weird berries in the woods
Now I'm seeing colors, I'm getting higher
I think I'll start a forest fire!
There's a forest fire climbing the hill
Burning wealthy California homes
Better run, run, run, run, run, run from the fire!
But some of us stay and watch
And we think of your insurance costs
And we laugh, laugh laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, at your lives
Windows covered with bars
Security guards
Is that a house or a fortress
Against the rest of the world?
Windows covered with bars
Security guards
Is that a house or a prison
How you gonna get out?
Electric bull and your tennis courts
Pink sports cars and your boats
Getting fried, fried, fried, fried, fried, fried, by the fire
Windows covered with bars
Floodlights for the yard
It's a pleasure to watch you watch it all melt
But hey!
What about the cocaine
Stockpiled in the basement?
Be a hero and save it
You know you're gonna need it
Where's your brand new pretty wife?
She might still be inside
Either save her or your cocaine from the fire!
But the gates and doors are locked
Cause the burglar alarms went off
Ever wonder why we laugh, laugh at your lives?
Windows covered with bars
Fences spiked with barbed wire
Never looked so helpless engulfed in flames
Cameras watching the walls
Don't forget the dogs
Now you're trapped in your prison
How you gonna get out?
Yeah!
See the gerbil
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run from the fire!
