Katastrofy · Norte FireNorte Fire Evacuations End at 60% Containment; Seven Homes Damaged or DestroyedNapisano 19 października 2026 05:06 UTCOglądajTranskrypcja0:07Authorities have lifted every Norte fire evacuation order, allowing residents to0:12return.0:12On October 17th, we reported 5% containment and only partial reopening.0:17Containment reached 25% that evening, then 60% Sunday.0:22The fire still covers 570 acres, and crews are working overnight to put out0:26hotspots.0:27What hazards still face residents returning to neighborhoods where firefighters are0:31continuing to work?0:32Villa La Murada remains closed to vehicles north of Esperanza so emergency crews can0:36work.0:36Residents of San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano must follow remaining access0:40restrictions.0:41The burn scar itself remains closed as an active fire hazard area.0:44The sheriff lifted the final orders at 6 Saturday evening and closed all shelters.0:49That release covered San Clemente Zone 12, San Juan Capistrano Zones 4 and 5, and0:54the remaining portion of Zone 10.0:56Earlier releases had included Stallion Ridge, San Juan Hills High School, and the1:00landfill off La Pata.1:02Damaged teams counted seven homes damaged or destroyed, updating the earlier1:06combined count of six.1:07Officials haven't said how many were total losses.1:10Seven families' properties are affected, but the assessment doesn't tell us how many1:14homes remain habitable.1:15The earlier four-home count covered San Juan Capistrano.1:18The six-home figure combined damage and destruction.1:21The later claim that seven homes were destroyed goes beyond the official assessment,1:25which still groups damaged and destroyed homes together.1:28About 16,000 residents and 6,000 homes initially came under evacuation orders.1:32Those figures describe everyone covered by the orders, rather than a head count of1:36people who left.1:37All mandatory orders have now ended.1:39Officials haven't said how many people still need somewhere else to live because1:42their homes were damaged.1:43Two firefighters were hospitalized with significant injuries, and both were stable1:48Saturday.1:49One had been released by Sunday.1:50Fire officials said both were doing well.1:53At least one was treated for heat exhaustion.1:55Earlier agency updates reported no civilian injuries.1:58467 firefighters were assigned Sunday morning, strengthening containment lines and2:03extinguishing hotspots.2:05The Orange County Fire Authority runs the response.2:08Crews are still looking for heat that could send embers into vegetation near homes.2:16An earlier deployment figure counted 750 personnel.2:20That broader category and Sunday's firefighter count describe different snapshots,2:25so they don't show a measured staffing reduction.2:27Fire crews expect to remain in the area for several days.2:30Captain Steve Concialdi said, We're going to be here for a number of days.2:34We don't want rekindling.2:36He warned that embers could ignite a palm tree or other vegetation, including2:40vegetation next to homes.2:41Santa Ana winds pushed the fire to 250 acres within its first hour Friday.2:46It began late that morning near Portico del Norte and Eminencia del Norte in San2:51Clemente, then spread into San Juan Capistrano.2:54Investigators are still determining what ignited it.2:57The weather outlook now favors less wind-driven spread.3:00Saturday's mountain high wind warning and inland Orange County wind advisory expired3:04at noon.3:05Coastal and inland heat advisories ran through Saturday evening.3:08Those alerts describe Saturday's conditions.3:10Sunday's fire-specific forecast calls for lighter winds and recovering humidity.3:14Sunday's forecast puts gusts generally below 10 miles an hour.3:18Humidity was near 30% that morning, with a forecast floor of 25%.3:22Overnight humidity is forecast above 80%, with nearby low clouds and localized fog.3:27Wines are forecast to become light and variable after sunset, with gradual cooling3:32and humidity recovery over the following days.3:35That gives crews more favorable conditions than the Santa Ana wines that drove the3:39initial run.3:40They still have to extinguish residual heat before it can restart a fire.3:43Capistrano Unified dismissed students early Friday at 10 schools, including San3:47Clemente and San Juan Hills.3:49The disruption also reached utilities.3:51An early nearby outage affected 496 customers.3:55A separate outage later that afternoon affected 2,351 customers.3:59The Ortega Highway on-ramp to the southbound five freeway also closed during the4:03initial response.4:04A request to conserve water was precautionary.4:07The fire authority said firefighters had no trouble getting water onto the fire.4:11Airbnb offered free emergency accommodation through a partnership with 2011 OC And4:16Orange County United Way residents seeking available resources can call 2011.4:21Emergency shelters have closed, but families whose homes are damaged may still need4:25temporary housing.4:26The Federal Fire Management Assistance Grant secured Friday lets responding agencies4:30seek reimbursement for 75% of eligible suppression costs.4:34That funding supports local, state, and tribal firefighting expenses.4:38Families with damaged property must seek housing and recovery help through other4:42resources.4:42A closed refrigerator may keep food safe for up to four hours without power.4:47A full freezer may last up to 48 hours and a half full freezer up to 24.4:52Returning residents should check food after any power interruption.4:55Refrigerators should be at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and freezers at or below5:00zero.5:01Discard perishables that stayed above 40 degrees for more than a few hours.5:05Around ash, wear appropriate protective equipment and avoid stirring it up.5:09Check local utility and water advisories before using services.5:13The return guidance calls for running hot and cold taps for at least three minutes5:17or until clear.5:18If running water is unavailable, use bottled water for hand washing.5:22If bottled water is unavailable too, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.5:26Residents have permission to return to released neighborhoods, subject to access5:30restrictions.5:31Crews will continue working overnight and expect several more days on the fire.5:35The burn scar remains closed because hot spots and embers can still ignite5:39vegetation beside homes.Przeczytaj artykułOś czasu
