Katastrophen · Norte-FeuerNorte-Feuer zu 80% eingedämmt, doch unterirdische Glut hält Einsatzkräfte auf TrabVerfasst 20. Oktober 2026 um 07:09 UTCAnsehenTranskript0:07Firefighters have secured 80% of the Norte fire's perimeter against spread.0:11On October 19th, we reported 75% containment.0:15The later Monday assessment puts it at 80%.0:18The footprint still holds at 570 acres, but crews are searching for buried heat that0:23could restart the fire.0:24What will it take to eliminate that heat and get families safely back into their0:28homes?0:29Santa Ana winds pushed the fire to 250 acres within an hour Friday.0:33It began near Portico del Norte in San Clemente and spread towards San Juan0:37Capistrano.0:38Orange County Fire Authority is leading the response.0:41Containment measures how much of the perimeter crews have secured against further0:45spread.0:46Heat can remain inside those lines.0:48The latest staffing figure is reportedly 583 firefighters.0:52An earlier Sunday morning count was 467, taken at a different stage of the response.0:56Crews moved from 60% containment Sunday evening to 75% Monday morning, then 80%1:02later Monday.1:03That's a 20 percentage point improvement since Sunday.1:06With no reported expansion beyond 570 acres.1:09The state incident page also carries 80% containment and 570 acres.1:14Its October 19 update is marked 4:34 p.m.1:17without a stated time zone.1:18The page identifies Orange County Fire Authority as the jurisdictional agency.1:23Thermal cameras can find heat beneath ground that looks quiet.1:26Firefighting drones send the hotspots' exact locations to crews below.1:30Those firefighters dig into the soil and check that the heat is completely out,1:34while other crews strengthen containment lines.1:43Buried hotspots can stay dormant for weeks, says Air Operations Manager Dan Dufrine.1:48He says the absence of smoke leaves much of the drone work unfinished.1:51OCFA's drone program has 20 operators, and fire crews are working around the clock.1:56Dufrine described the drone work as only about 25% done, even when smoke disappears.2:01That describes the drone workload.2:02Residents have been asked to keep personal drones away because they could interfere.2:06OCFA hopes eventually to use drones that deliver water directly to hotspots.2:10Seven homes in San Juan Capistrano were damaged or destroyed.2:14The separate totals still aren't clear.2:16Both firefighters hospitalized after Friday's injuries are now recovering at home.2:21Earlier information identified heat exhaustion for at least one of them.2:24Our October 17 broadcast used an early assessment of at least six homes destroyed.2:29The later seven home assessment combines damage and destruction and replaces that2:33earlier tally.2:35All evacuation orders have been lifted.2:37Residents began returning Saturday evening and evacuation shelters closed.2:42That reopening had already happened before our October 19 broadcast.2:45Scott Peterson's family still can't live in their home on Via La Mirada.2:49They're waiting for air quality testing, even though firefighters saved the house.2:53The family is delivering air scrubbers to neighbors while their own displacement2:56continues.2:57Peterson was home with his daughter as flames approached.3:00His wife was out of town and they watched their cameras as a backyard tree caught3:03fire.3:04Flames reached the fence.3:06Firefighters entered the yard with a hose and put them out, saving his home and3:09neighboring houses.3:11Police Chief Justin Chevalier's initial estimates covered about 6,000 homes and3:1516,000 residents under evacuation orders.3:18Those figures describe the area ordered to leave.3:21The number still displaced hasn't been counted publicly.3:24We also don't have a newer notice ending the separate Villa La Merada vehicle3:27restriction or burn scar closure.3:30Bridgeford Law's complaint alleges San Diego gas and electric equipment failure3:34caused the fire.3:35Attorney Richard Bridgeford calls that highly probable.3:38The utility says there is currently no basis to connect its facilities to the3:42ignition and is cooperating with fire investigators.3:45The complaint was reportedly filed Monday for a San Juan Capistrano resident who3:49evacuated.3:50It cites a nearby outage two minutes before the fire was reported.3:54It also places utility equipment within 100 to 200 feet of the approximate ignition3:58site.3:59Those details are the complaint's allegations.4:01SDGNE confirms an outage Friday but says its cause is still under investigation.4:07The company says smoke and ash can cause electrical outages.4:10Investigators haven't determined what started this fire or whether the outage and4:14ignition are connected.4:15The outage's timing gives investigators a lead.4:18It doesn't tell them which event caused the other.4:21California's utility regulator examines whether utilities followed safety4:25requirements.4:25Its wildfire investigators don't determine a fire's cause.4:29Crews also plan to repair ground disturbed by firefighting this week to help reduce4:33erosion.4:34That work continues inside the perimeter, alongside the search for buried heat,4:39securing the boundary leaves both jobs unfinished.4:42Rain is forecast Wednesday and Thursday, October 21 and 22.4:46The regional outlook includes showers and a chance of thunderstorms, most likely4:50Wednesday night into Thursday morning.4:51It puts the chance of wetting rain above 90% from the coast to the mountains.4:55Those regional odds don't specify how hard rain will fall on the Norte burn scar.5:00Crews still need to eliminate the remaining heat and protect disturbed slopes, for5:04Peterson's family returning to live at home still depends on air quality testing.Artikel lesenChronologie der GeschichteHeyDexDas
