On Catalina Island, a careless spark from welding equipment ignited the Island Fire.
The fire spread rapidly just northwest of the city of Avalon, reaching the city outskirts by nightfall. Nearly 1,200 people were asked to evacuate their homes, while dozens of fire engines
were transported to the island via military hovercraft.
Ultimately, the fire consumed 4,750 acres (nearly five times the size of any prior wildfire on the island) and destroyed six structures.
