Southern California’s Line Fire forces thousands to evacuate

BBC:

More than 10,000 people are under mandatory evacuation orders due to a fast-spreading, uncontrolled wildfire in southern California.

The Line Fire also threatens thousands of homes, businesses and other buildings in San Bernardino County, east of Los Angeles.

The wildfire, which started on Thursday, spread rapidly overnight on Saturday, causing California Governor Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency.

The blaze on the edge of the San Bernardino National Forest had grown to more than 20,000 acres (32 sq miles) as of early Monday, and was 0% contained.
