אסונות · Norte FireSome Norte Fire Evacuees Can Return With Blaze Just 5% Containedנכתב 17 באוקטובר 2026 בשעה 22:11 UTCצפייהתמליל0:07The Norte fire has damaged or destroyed six homes.0:10Some residents can now return, but evacuation orders still cover parts of two0:14communities and the fire spans 570 acres.0:18For families still barred from home, the unresolved question is when their0:21neighborhoods can safely reopen.0:23The fire spread from San Clemente into San Juan Capistrano under strong Santa Ana0:28winds.0:28It began Friday, October 16th, at 11.33 in the morning, near Portico del Norte and0:34Eminencia del Norte.0:35Officials reopened all of SCL 13 and the SJC 10B portion of San Juan Capistrano at0:41noon Saturday.0:42Orders remain for SCL 12, SJC 04, SJC 05 and SJC0:4810A.0:48Permission to return applies only within the released areas.0:51The released San Juan Capistrano area includes Stallion Ridge, San Juan Hills High0:56School, and the landfill off La Pata.0:58Before returning, residents should check their address on the official evacuation1:01map and follow Alert OC instructions.1:04Some roads or locations can remain restricted even within a reopened area.1:07Anyone still under an evacuation order must leave.1:10Returning residents should watch for emergency personnel and obey access1:14restrictions.1:15A neighborhood reopening doesn't guarantee that every home is habitable.1:18Fire officials count six homes damaged or destroyed.1:22They haven't said how many were total losses.1:24Flames fully engulfed homes near San Juan Capistrano, but the final assessment will1:29determine how each property is classified.1:31About 16,000 residents across roughly 6,000 homes were under evacuation orders at1:36the peak.1:37That measures the population covered by orders.1:40After Saturday's partial reopening, nobody has given a revised count of residents1:44still barred from home.1:45That peak figure belongs to the Norte fire alone.1:49It doesn't count how many people actually left.1:51An earlier Friday snapshot put nearly 13,000 people under threat, with orders or1:56warnings affecting about 4,000 homes, while the fire covered about 465 acres.2:01Saturday's early acreage estimate moved from nearly 500 to 570 acres.2:06but the fire had already reached 570 acres late Friday.2:10Crews held that footprint overnight while attacking the fire and strengthening2:14containment lines.2:15Firefighters raised containment from zero to five percent by Saturday morning.2:18The midday update kept the fire at 570 acres and 5% containment.2:23A circulating 50% figure isn't supported by the fire agency's updates.2:27Two firefighters suffered heat-related injuries, including heat exhaustion for at2:31least one.2:32Both were taken to hospitals and were in stable condition.2:35Saturday morning, more than 400 firefighters were described as battling the Norte2:39fire.2:40Friday evening's deployment figures placed about 400 personnel on scene, with about2:44400 more on the way.2:45Those snapshots don't provide a current staffing total.2:48The separate figure of more than a thousand firefighters covers the wider Southern2:52California response, which includes other fires.2:54Southern California faced temperatures in the 90s, very low humidity and gusts above2:5950 miles an hour.3:00Some Santa Ana gusts exceeded 70.3:02Those regional conditions helped fires spread beyond Orange County including the3:06Bryson fire near Malibu and the Henderson fire in San Diego County.3:10Friday's wider regional assessment put 6 million people in fire danger.3:14Utilities had preventively shut off power to more than 100,000 customers to reduce3:18ignition risks from downed lines.3:21Those are regional figures rather than a current Orange County outage count.3:25The regional warning area stretched from north of Santa Clarita to the Mexican3:29border.3:30Conditions varied across that corridor.3:32Saturday's weather outlook forecast winds decreasing into Sunday, October 18th, and3:37humidity recovering into the following week.3:39Cooler weather, stronger westerly winds, and chances of rain were forecast for the3:43middle to end of the week.3:45That offers the prospect of better firefighting conditions.3:48Evacuation orders still require a specific decision from officials before residents3:53can return.3:54The Boys and Girls Club in San Juan Capistrano is the designated overnight shelter.3:58The San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente Community Centers are listed for daytime4:02care and reception.4:03from 8 in the morning until 8 at night.4:05The overnight shelter opened Friday evening at 8.4:08Animals are allowed, residents should bring medications, and officials discourage4:12unsolicited donations.4:13Separate animal care resources are listed at OC Animal Care in Tostin and Casa in4:18San Clemente.4:19The public information number is 714-628-7085.4:24The facilities remained on official midday listing Saturday.4:27Residents should check for updates as access and assistance arrangements change.4:31Federal assistance will help local, state, and tribal agencies apply for4:35reimbursement of 75% of eligible fire suppression costs.4:39California secured that grant Friday.4:40Its cost share pays toward agency firefighting expenses.4:44Household property losses require separate assistance.4:46Orange County had extra resources in place before the fire began.4:50Thursday's advanced deployment included 45 firefighters and support personnel4:54alongside equipment intended to speed the response when dangerous winds arrive.4:58The equipment included five engines, a bulldozer, a water tender, and a helicopter.5:03along with a hand crew.5:04Local fire officials directed staging and assignments, and the State Operations5:09Center was activated to coordinate the response.5:11Those preparations were part of a fourteen county operation, with deployments5:15beginning october fourteenth.5:17The county count describes where resources were positioned ahead of dangerous5:20weather.5:21Nor day's footprint remained 570 acres in Saturday's latest official status.5:26The fire's cause is still under investigation.5:28By Saturday afternoon, officials hadn't set a time for lifting the remaining5:32evacuation orders.5:33Residents in SCL twelve, SJC 04, SJC zero five, and SJC5:39ten.a must remain out until their specific area receives authorization to reopen.קריאת הכתבהציר הזמן של הסיפורHeyDexהסרטון הקצר ↗מי דיווח על מהנקודות
