Western Wildfires

One of the most concerning blazes, the Line Fire, spans nearly 33,000 acres and was at 14% containment in the San Bernardino National Forest in Southern California.

More than 38,000 structures are under threat from the uncontrolled blaze, CalFire said.

The so-called Line Fire was burning uncontrolled along the edge of the San Bernardino National Forest, about 65 miles east of L.A.

The trail has been affected by 26 fires this year alone, which have led 16 parts to close.

Four people in Northern California describe what it’s been like to lose their homes to wildfires twice in six years.

The 54-acre fire was fully contained as of Tuesday evening, according to San Bernardino County fire officials.

The people of Stehekin have ignored calls to evacuate, causing some concern for the isolated community. One expert says people in rural communities are increasingly choosing to stay and defend their homes, rather than heed authorities.

Human remains were found in a residence burned in the Stone Canyon Fire, authorities said. In California, the Park Fire has burned through more than 380,000 acres.

The fire, which ignited Monday afternoon, has already burned over 4,500 acres and is 0% contained, according to Cal Fire.

The Park Fire alone had burned over 373,000 acres with only 12% containment as of Monday morning. It is now the sixth-largest fire in state history, according Cal Fire.
