LOS ANGELES — Sonia Moser, 52, stood on her deck, looking up at the sky since about 3 p.m., helicopters whirring above her house in the El Niguel Country Club golf course community.
She smelled the smoke first and emerged from her home to see the fire grow quickly. The wind has since seemed to have shifted directions, blowing smoke to the east. Just in case there’s an evacuation order in her area, Moser has been preparing her belongings.
She said she has friends closer to the fire who have already been evacuated from their homes. Fire aircraft have been flying between the fire and the golf course since the fire started, picking up water from its lake to take to the fire.
