France 24 reports that a fast-moving fire fueled by high winds burned at least six Southern California homes on Friday, engulfed coastal properties and prompted thousands to evacuate. Al Jazeera identifies the blaze as the fast-spreading Norte Fire in Orange County and says intense warm winds and unseasonably high temperatures fueled it; the BBC says evacuation orders were issued and it was one of 13 fires burning across California. NPR also reports that hot winds fueled the fire and coastal homes burned as thousands evacuated, while The Sydney Morning Herald describes several California homes ablaze amid a critical fire-weather threat and says dry, warm, gusty Santa Ana winds blow from inland Southern California toward the coast and offshore.
