Firefighters Tuesday were battling a fast-moving brush fire in Orange County that injured three people and prompted evacuations in Trabuco Canyon.

The blaze, dubbed the Airport fire, started about 1:30 p.m. Monday along the 32200 block of Trabuco Creek Road near a field in Trabuco Canyon for remote-controlled airplanes. At least 8,510 acres have burned, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Fire investigators determined the fire was unintentional, caused by a spark from heavy equipment used by workers to place large boulders on Trabuco Creek Road, McGovern said.

“They were moving boulders to block access to the vegetation ... to keep people out because of the weather we have right now, and the fuels are getting to that point,” he said.Two firefighters sustained heat-related injuries and were taken to a local hospital. One civilian was taken to a local hospital due to smoke inhalation.
