California Wildfire Forces Evacuation of 16,000 People 🚨🔥

A fast spreading wildfire known as the Norte Fire has triggered large scale evacuations in Orange County, California, after igniting in San Clemente on Friday. The blaze reportedly spread across 570 acres, fueled by strong Santa Ana winds and dry conditions.

At least six homes have reportedly been damaged or destroyed, while around 16,000 people have been affected by evacuation orders covering approximately 6,000 homes.

Firefighters are battling the flames from the ground and air as critical fire weather conditions continue across Southern California. Crews are also tackling the nearby Henderson Fire near Camp Pendleton.
