Orange County fire officials searched for the source of a possible fire after receiving multiple emergency calls about smoke in the Trabuco Canyon area, the Orange County Fire Authority said Friday.
After flying a helicopter to comb through the region, investigators determined that there was no fire.
What they found was windy conditions that are stirring up dust and possibly ash in the air.
