The out-of-control Line Fire in the San Bernardino Mountains has rapidly expanded to 20,553 acres with no containment, increasing the threat to over 23,000 residents under evacuation orders.
Evacuation orders have soared as the Line Fire threatens 36,328 homes and structures, exacerbated by treacherous terrain and massive fuel loads making firefighting efforts highly challenging.
Cal Fire warns that the Line Fire, burning in grass and chaparral, has generated significant smoke and intense conditions, even creating its own storm clouds.
With thunderstorms causing shifting winds and lightning strikes complicating containment efforts, firefighters face daunting challenges as the fire continues to grow unchecked.
