High winds sparked a fast‑moving blaze that consumed at least six homes in Southern California. The fire, which began in San Clemente, spread into San Juan Capistrano, forcing thousands to evacuate and leaving black smoke visible from miles away. Firefighters battled the flames while residents doused roofs and moved propane tanks. Two firefighters suffered heat‑related injuries, and power was shut off for tens of thousands, disrupting traffic on Interstate five. Schools closed and an evacuation shelter opened in each city, illustrating the community’s rapid response to the sudden threat.
