Wide of the destruction to a home STORYLINE Southern California Edison has told state utility regulators that unspecified electrical "circuit activity" happened at about the time that a wildfire erupted near the wealthy coastal city of Laguna Niguel and burned at least 20 homes, including mansions. Plumes of smoke rose from the gutted ruins of the burned homes on Thursday but others nearby appeared untouched by Wednesday's fire. Meanwhile, residents began returning to the community to see the devastation. Sassan Darian sat on a curb cradling his cat while watching his destroyed home burn to the ground. "It's just surreal because I was here yesterday while it was happening. I had to rush out and now the house is totally gone," he said. A half block down the devastated Coronado Pointe street, resident Ban Latif fought back tears after finding her home survived, but her next door neighbor's did not. "It happened so quick, so quick. I'm still numbed. I'm still numbed. I cannot believe it," said Latif. The Coastal Fire was reported Wednesday afternoon in a canyon between Laguna Niguel and the neighboring city of Laguna Beach, Orange County Fire Authority Assistant Chief T.J. McGovern told reporters. SoCal Edison made the report about the circuit activity Wednesday evening. The fire burned uphill toward luxury homes lining ridges with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. The National Weather Service reported winds on the coast ranged from 34 mph to 38 mph (55-61 kph) between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. while the fire was raging. The fire's cause was under investigation and damage inspections were still ongoing on Thursday, McGovern said. Southern California Edison said the company made the notification to the California Public Utilities Commission "out of an abundance of caution" because the incident may meet reporting requirements. About 900 homes remained under evacuation orders on Thursday, said sheriff's Capt. Virgil Asuncion, chief of police services for Laguna Niguel.
