In a press release, city officials said 80 acres had burned in San Clemente. No evacuations have been mandated, and OCFA officials expect to have full containment on the fire by Friday. No injuries have been reported from the fire.

OCFA officials said 204 firefighters were battling the fire on Thursday, and more than 350 firefighters were on scene on Wednesday.
Firefighters closed portions of south La Pata near the fire on Wednesday night in order to make easy passage for fire engines and create space for aircraft to refill water and fire suppression materials.
South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a smoke advisory on Thursday that was in effect until Friday morning. Southern winds were blowing the smoke from the fire toward Orange County.
