Out-of-Control California Wildfire Forces 80,000 Evacuations and a State of Emergency

In less than a day after igniting, a Southern California wildfire, burning uncontrollably, has engulfed 18,000 acres.

The size of the fire is roughly 28 square miles.

The fast-moving fire forced more than 82,000 residents of San Bernardino County to evacuate, a Cal Fire spokesman said.

Fire authorities warned of "imminent threat to public safety" as 0% of the fire had been contained as of Tuesday night.

The massive fire, which is being called Blue Cut, prompted Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of emergency in the area.
