Fast Moving Wildfire in California Destroys Land and Property
A fast-moving wildfire in California has grown swiftly due to a strong heat wave that has caused the flora to become severely dried up.
On Monday afternoon, close to Big Bear, the Radford fire started in the San Bernardino National Fores and burned 50 acres. The fire had reached 450 acres by Tuesday morning and had no containment.
The Radford Fire is one of many wildfires that ravaged California over the holiday weekend, consuming hundreds of acres in less than a week. As of Tuesday night, the Mill Fire in Siskiyou County, Northern California, had grown to 3935 acres and had obliterated 108 buildings.
The Mountain Fire, which started in the neighborhood and spread to 11,690 acres on Tuesday, was 30% controlled.
According to Cal Fire, one more fire called the Fairview Fire started at about 2:00 PM ET on Monday and burnt 2,000 acres of land, and at least seven houses, and destroyed other infrastructures close to the city of Hemet in Riverside County. (Footprints for the Fairview fire are awaited and will be updated soon). The fire has consumed 4,500 acres as of Tuesday night and is just 5% controlled.
As the wildfires in California grew on Tuesday, evacuation orders and warnings were extended, however, it is not yet known how many additional people or homes are affected.
