LOS ANGELES, United States-A fierce brush fire raged in southern California Saturday, forcing evacuations and the closure of part of the scenic Pacific Coast Highway, as officials warned oil, power and rail installations were at risk. Fire officials could not be reached for an update. Though the highway has been opened, the region isn’t completely safe, cautioned Ventura County Fire Department Chief Norm Plott. Firefighters had dug containment lines around 70 percent of the blaze by early morning, Ventura County Fire Department spokesman Mike Lind Berry said.

Worse, the winds are expected to shift several times Saturday.

Firefighters said they battled and contained two small flare-ups overnight.

“It looks like the intense firefight is over”, Lindbery said Sunday afternoon, noting a weather change had brought beneficial cloud cover that shifted conditions in firefighters’ favor.
