Norte Fire in San Clemente threatening homes

It is 1235 and we do have the breaking news out of Orange County. There is that Norte fire that is burning in the city of San Clemente and it is up to 50 acres. We have this now. New information from the Orange County Fire Authority that is there on scene. Let's take a look at what they're saying. They do say that structures are threatened. Crews, they say, are aggressively attacking the fire from the ground and air. Please continue to avoid the area. That is the word to the public. But you're seeing if you're looking at your screen right now, you're seeing some of those aerial shots provided by the Orange County Fire Authority and also some ground shots from the Orange County Fire Authority as well. So you see the ridge there. Obviously, they are under the same conditions we are here in the Los Angeles area. And that is those red flag conditions, extreme temperatures with very low humidity and those Santa Ana winds. That is just a recipe for what we're seeing here. And so when you hear structures are threatened, no word yet on specific evacuations. But those could be coming as soon as we get word. We will obviously bring that to you when we can. And in fact, we are working to get somebody from Orange County Fire Authority on the line. And so as soon as that happens, we will absolutely bring that to you. And just let me just cruise along with Sky Fox. This is just below the helicopter as it is on its way. Stu Mandel is there with his pilot and they are headed to this brush fire in San Clemente. at least 50 acres this is according to the Orange County Fire Authority and structures are actively threatened we hate to have to hear that and it looks like now that the camera is turned toward the smoke you see all of that smoke from all these miles away so as soon as we are able to and if you are threatened if you are in that area and you want to give us a call please do call the Fox 11 newsroom. And we will we'd love to be able to hear your perspective as we work to get more information for you here at Fox 11 and Fox Local Los Angeles. And it looks like let me just pull up that information one more time in case you missed it. This is just in from the Orange County Fire Authority. They are such a great resource on social while they're doing what they can on the ground and in the air. They are actively updating the press and also the public. And they do say that those crews are aggressively attacking the fire from the ground and air. Obviously, the air resources are going to be vital because of those winds. And in fact, I should be able to pull up some of those current winds. In fact, we do have this. Let me just pull up these current winds and see if we can't learn anything from this is currently right here at the bottom of the hour. I'm looking there. And even in Santa Ana, 20 mile per hour winds. Obviously, this does not mention San Clemente, but you get the idea that there are those winds that these are sustained winds. So those gusts can be even stronger. Just keep that in mind. Obviously, Sandburg is a hotspot right now up to the north. But nonetheless, it is those gusty conditions. They do remain on this Friday. And this was expected. This was part of the forecast. And we hate to have to see this. And of course, let me get.
