fire's broke out about 3 hours ago. Captain said they knew the point of origin, but not the cause. People are being evacuated down to the Coast Highway.

now showing 5 or 6 hours engulfed in flames. edit: the camera panned back - looks more like 15 or so houses now. Hundreds have been evacuated.

6. Have you seen the footage?
It looks awful. Being fanned by 60+ mph winds, and growing rapidly. 0% contained.
