The fire started around 12:30 p.m. between Hay Press and the KBIG radio station tower, about three miles outside Avalon, according to Wayne Griffin, executive director of the Catalina Chamber of Commerce.
Two camps nearby have been evacuated. But Avalon remains calm, he said, and residents are taking a wait and see attitude. One problem is getting accurate information because most fire officials are on the lines.
