I am over in the VV area and the smoke looks like the fire is MUCH larger than 6 acres...it looks rather large from here.

Last check the KING FIRE was well controlled. There is a new fir in OC called the HOLY FIRE.
Location: Trabuco Canyon and Holy Jim Canyon in Orange County.

The King Fire has a hose lay around the perimeter and forward rate of spread was stopped a while ago.

There is a new fire in OC (Trabuco Canyon) but doubt that's what your seeing.
