What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story around fast-moving Southern California fires and the weather conditions feeding them, with CBS News emphasizing powerful Santa Ana winds and firefighting, and Al Jazeera and CNN both centring the Norte Fire. CNN alone mentions county officials and says the fire burned multiple homes, while Al Jazeera alone says it is in Orange County and links it to intense warm winds and unseasonably high temperatures.
