Laguna Beach Firefighters Deployed To Sheep Fire

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Laguna Beach firefighters have been hard at work all week, after they were deployed Monday to assist with the Sheep Fire near Wrightwood in San Bernardino County, the city announced Thursday.

Laguna Beach Fire Capt. Pat Cary, Engineer Brian Adams and Firefighter Brandon Hawkins worked to "mop up" the fire throughout the week. The trio worked to make sure all hot spots in the burn area were out to prevent any rekindling, the city said.

The Sheep Fire erupted June 11 and since then, has burned through almost 900 acres of land near Wrightwood in the Angeles National Forest. As of Wednesday night, the LA Times reported that firefighters had an 85 percent containment on the wildfire.

Laguna Beach firefighters made their way back to town on Thursday, the city said.
