California wildfire forces thousands to evacuate as blaze destroys coastal homes

Your browser does not support the video tag. Thousands of residents were forced to evacuate on Friday as a fast-moving wildfire, driven by strong winds, destroyed at least six high-value coastal properties in Southern California. Thick black smoke, visible from miles away, rose above tennis courts and swimming pools while crews tackled burning houses in San Juan Capistrano, Orange County. Several residents sprayed their buildings with water before obeying evacuation orders. Two firefighters were taken to hospital with heat-related injuries, according to officials. Authorities have not yet disclosed what started the blaze, which remained under a square mile in size by Friday evening. "Had these winds been a little bit stronger, a little bit different direction, this could have been a whole lot worse," said San Clemente Mayor Rick Loeffler. Howard Hart, a councilmember for San Juan Capistrano, said he and his wife soaked their roof and relocated propane canisters away from their property before leaving on Friday with a packed bag. Laura Hart said she has not had to leave her home because of a wildfire in more than 50 years of living in the area. A traffic sign alerts motorists about the Norte Fire, seen in the background
