San Clemente fire burns multiple homes

Look at that smoke. You know, you got to think about what is in a home. I mean, you got to imagine these people have probably lived here for several years. There's lots of belongings, lots of different kinds of furniture that unfortunately can be flammable. And I think that's what we're seeing right here as we just see these really intense flames. But I want to touch on what you were talking about before with Adam. Every fire I've covered since being here since those 2025 wildfires, that I think is the image. And we certainly know when our region is scarred, especially the the people who live in the Palisades and the Eaton fire zones, but every fire up to yesterday in Azusa and Malibu, that is what people think, and that's what people are so afraid of happening to their neighborhoods. We hear it from everybody, oh my gosh, that's the first thing I thought of was Eaton fire, Palisades fire. Again, this is just horrible, horrible to watch. Look at all the smoke. It's absolutely awful to watch, to your point, and you can see that But there's heavier smoke coming now, heavier black smoke as well from that home to your point. Obviously, when you have things in your home that are potentially flammable, because we all do, you have your belongings. And so that's probably what we're seeing right now, that thick black smoke. And as we also bring in the view from SkyFox, you can really see that shot as well as it is zoomed out there. this entire area that is being impacted by the Northay fire that right now stands at 465 acres. That was the last number that we got from Orange County Fire Authority. But again, they're extremely busy in this firefight, so there could be an updated number. We're going to continue to check in on that. Let me actually see. Watch Duty has that same number right now. They also have 465 acres with 0% containment at this time with the Northay fire. So It looks like we are back in the other neighborhood, which is Villa La Mirada, where homes were also burned. And it appeared that about four homes in that neighborhood were burned from the Northay fire. And then, of course, taking a live look here, where is Nick Garcia's shot, where you are on Glacomora Lane right now in San Juan Capistrano. And I know before you were showing us that there were a number of people on the hillside just really watching this firefight. Yeah, I would imagine they're still out there. What I'm looking at now is just this small hillside next to the home where we see the fire crews on the ground here. I know there's at least a couple hoses. Here comes another one. Putting water onto this house, doing whatever they can. You know, we've got to know these are very large homes. Unfortunately, a lot of fuel. I'm hearing some crashing. Yeah. Hopefully all those firefighters are okay. I'm hearing some crashing, so I've got to assume that some of the integrity of this building, obviously compromised by these flames, and some of that framework is coming down. I'm seeing some of this roof right here closer to us that we saw the smoke billowing out from earlier. It's crumbling now. So this is just horrible, horrible to watch, but these firefighters are doing all that they can. They have not stopped putting water on this and trying to keep up with the winds that have continued to really, really make these flames just go to really high levels. Coco, we've seen some intense flames here and just all of this smoke. Intense flames for sure. We're seeing that right now from Skyfox, the view from above. And to your point of hearing some crashing, at least the shot that we have right now from Skyfox, you can see that a portion of that roof has collapsed because of these flames. So maybe that's what you were hearing. And obviously, we hope that firefighters are okay. They're so brave out there battling these flames. We know that this is a multi-agency effort because you're seeing Orange County Fire Authority right next to you. But I believe on the way you mentioned that you also saw some crews from Huntington Beach as well. Oh yeah, Huntington Beach, Anaheim, Fullerton. Definitely a multi-agency fight here. It doesn't surprise me at all that part of this roof has collapsed. That's certainly what we heard. Thankfully, that is what so often these firefighters are trained for. We truly have the best and most trained firefighters possibly in the country because of the fire that we see here. And they know they've got a plan for those situations, keeping the crews safe as well and getting them away from structures that could come down on them, of course, assuming that all lives have been saved from the home. This one, I've got to imagine with almost 100 percent certainty that nobody is left inside of this home, and that's why crews are able to stay outside of it and not be putting themselves in any more harm's way than they need to.
