Drone footage has captured smoke rising above Irvine, California as the Bond Fire rages in the distance.

The footage from December 3 shows the billowing smoke clouds from the now 6,400-acre blaze closely situated to Limestone Canyon Regional Park.

The Orange County Fire Authority tweeted: "Due to more accurate mapping, the #BondFire is at 6,400 acres w/10% containment.

Per @CalTrans, all roads are reopened except for Santiago Canyon Road.

Evacuation orders have been lifted in Lake Forest, North of Alton Parkway, East of the 241."

In an earlier tweet before the 10 per cent containment, they explained that 25,000 residents were evacuated.
