Homes Destroyed, Thousands Flee As Fires Burn Across CA: See All The Wildfires Burning
Tens of thousands lost power as firefighters battled three blazes fueled by Santa Ana winds and high heat, officials said.
- The Norte Fire rapidly expanded across nearly 500 acres on Friday, destroying multiple structures in Southern California's San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente coastal communities.
- Intense Santa Ana winds and high temperatures drove the blaze, with forecasters reporting gusts of 50 to 70 mph that created a "high risk for large fires and rapid fire growth."
- By Friday night, Fire Chief TJ McGovern of the Orange County Fire Authority ordered 16,000 residents to evacuate, while two firefighters were hospitalized with heat-related injuries.
- Authorities shut down power lines to prevent sparks, leaving more than 118,000 customers without electricity, while a separate Henderson fire burned at least 2,070 acres at the Marine Corps base Camp Pendleton.
- The National Weather Service expects dangerous fire conditions to persist through Saturday night, maintaining a heat advisory until 8pm Saturday for the Orange County and San Diego County coast.
