Fire officials in Southern California say a wildfire has broken out in Orange County and high wind is pushing flames toward a subdivision.

Television footage shows at least three houses on fire in the area of Corona and Yorba Linda.

Officials said evacuations were underway.

Orange County Fire Authority Lynnette Round says the blaze started around 9 a.m. Saturday and wind was carrying embers toward homes.

The area is about 40 miles south of Los Angeles, where a wind-driven wildfire has destroyed a number of homes.
