Written by City News Service - Four agencies today investigated the death of a
woman in an area frequented by transients next to the Bolsa Chica onramp to the
southbound San Diego (405) Freeway.
  The fire was reported to the California Highway Patrol around 7:15 p.m.
Thursday, Orange County Fire Authority Captain Steve Consialdi said.
   As firefighters battled a ``pretty intense'' vegetation fire for around
20 minutes, a witness told CHP officers that a woman had been seen in the area
when the fire started, he said.
   Consialdi said that after a 5-minute search, firefighters discovered the
body of a female burn victim.
   A California Highway Patrol online log of the incident said a passerby
reported that a transient named Wendy had been cooking in the area with
propane. The passerby told CHP officers he heard an explosion, the log said.
   Consialdi said the fire and death were being jointly investigated by the
Westminster Police Department, the Orange County Coroner's Office, the Orange
County Fire Authority and the California Highway Patrol. LOUDLABS NEWS
