A wildfire that has destroyed at least 12,000 acres northwest of Palm Springs flared up Saturday, with evacuation orders for over 8,000 people in more than 2,500 households as firefighters fought the blaze in triple-degree heat.

An unspecified number of homes were in the path of the flames but were not in imminent danger, CalFire captain Fernando Herrera told the Riverside Press-Enterprise.

The blaze, which began as two adjacent fires, was reported shortly before 5pm on Friday in Cherry Valley, an unincorporated area near the city of Beaumont in Riverside County.

Flames leapt along brushy ridge tops and came close to homes while some 375 firefighters attacked it from the ground and air, authorities said. The blaze, dubbed the Apple Fire, doubled in size overnight and is over 18 square miles.

Over 7,800 people have been told to evacuate over 2,500 homes, according to fire officials. Hundreds of people in foothill neighborhoods north of Beaumont fell under mandatory evacuation order

One home has been destroyed. Herrera said firefighters were having difficulty assessing the damage because the charred ground was too hot to walk on.

The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning as Southern California found itself in the midst of a heat wave. The mercury hit 105 degrees in Palm Springs by Saturday afternoon.

The weather service said 'dangerously hot conditions' were expected to continue into evening because of high pressure over the region.

USA the monster land...

Authority are suggesting the current CA fire is an arson while Florida is patiently waiting for hurricane.

Africa is save from mother nature disaster but not from our wicked leaders

....Chai. See as that dog dey run for that last pics.

I do explain this to people around me, God won't give u a problem you aren't capable of dealing with. Your strength is proportional to the problem you face.

The only thing is, humans don't want any problem at all and some can't even realize their strength so they chicken out.

My point is, God knows we aren't capable of dealing with this kind of problem in Nigeria, so He has made sure that such won't happen here. Imagine if we have hurricane, tornado, earth quake all combined in Nigeria

Enough bush meat pepper! Chai, why no be Nigeria. Bush meat pepper soup for just jaburata for everywhere. Person for just enter bush start to pick meat.

Be like say USA wan collect Nigeria template for everyday disaster

see working country, fire started 5pm on Friday and see actions already on ground, if it had been one country like that in Africa, the yeye president go first set up committee to investigate cause of fire. and yeye NAS will deliberate on whether or not to vote for a Northern or Southern person to chair the fire fighting commission, after 6months they will release 78 billion naira to compensate the affected state, las las few people go loot the money...stupid country we dey

Coro never finish, fire come still join . May God help his people ooo
