Solimar Beach Brush Fire 70 Percent Contained, Evacuation Orders Lifted
Residents from as many as 100 homes that had evacuated from Solimar and Faria beaches were then allowed to return to their homes. Ms Sumagaysay said reopening the highway is a top priority, which officials said they hoped to accomplish by Saturday afternoon.
