Firefighters on Sunday battled a wildfire that broke out in the rugged mountains along Big Sur, forcing hundreds of residents on a precarious stretch of coast in the US state of California to evacuate and authorities to shut its main road. The fire started Friday night in the Palo Colorado Canyon in Big Sur and quickly spread towards the sea, fanned by strong winds up to 80km/h. The blaze burned at least 6 square kilometres of brush and redwood trees, said Cecile Juliette, a spokesperson for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Authorities made contact with about 500 residents, urging them to evacuate the sparsely populated area between Carmel and Big Sur.
