As of Saturday, October 17, 2026, the Norte fire had burned 570 acres and prompted mandatory evacuation orders during a period of high winds and warm temperatures. 

Airbnb.org is partnering with 211OC, a key service of Orange County United Way, to identify people displaced by the Norte Fire in southern Orange County and connect them with a free place to stay.

Temporary housing is available to residents living in the areas under mandatory evacuation orders.

Residents in the impacted area can dial 2-1-1 to get help navigating available resources, including Airbnb.org housing support as available, and other needs such as emergency food, housing and more.
