00:02A fast-moving wildfire in Southern California has damaged at least six homes and injured
00:08two firefighters, with strong Santa Ana winds fueled the blaze, which scorched about 465
00:14acres or 188 hectares.
00:19Authorities said on Friday that the Norte Fire broke out in the coastal city of San Clemente
00:23before spreading to neighboring San Juan Capistrano.
00:26Due to weather and topography, this fire moved fast.
00:30This was a wind-driven event, growing to approximately 465 acres very, very quickly, with many homes
00:42impacted and threatened immediately.
00:45San Clemente Mayor Rick Loeffler said the city had taken precautionary measures to reduce
00:50wildfire risks.
00:51San Clemente had already started anticipating some of this from the Palisades Fire.
00:56We started a goat program to start clearing the vegetation.
00:59We also, with the help of Supervisor Foley, put a pumpkin, which is a tank, on the top
01:04of our ridge trail there so the fire department could refill their water supply quickly.
01:08We'd already anticipated this, but it shows you no matter how prepared you are, you can't
01:12be prepared for what's happening now.
01:14The Santa Ana winds.
01:16Had these winds been a little bit stronger, a little bit different direction, this could
01:20have been a whole lot worse.
01:21The Norte Fire was among several wildfires burning in Southern California in recent days,
01:27including the Bryson Fire near Malibu.
01:29Santa Ana winds, which blow from inland areas towards the coast, can rapidly spread flames
01:35and increase the risk of wildfires across the region.
