Fast-moving brush fire devastates San Bernardino, California A raging brush fire has caused widespread destruction and forced evacuations in the city of San Bernardino, California on Monday. The fire, named the Edgehill fire, quickly spread across a residential hillside, leading to fears that the already perilous fire season could pose a threat to more densely populated areas of the state. The blaze has grown to 100 acres, consuming multiple buildings and prompting evacuation orders for residents in the Shandin Hills neighborhood. With the fire zero percent contained, 200 firefighters from various agencies are battling the inferno. The dry weather and scorching temperatures, reaching nearly 110 degrees, have facilitated the rapid spread of the fire, making containment efforts extremely challenging. Additionally, gusty winds have exacerbated the situation, allowing the fire to intensify and advance towards homes perched on a nearby hill. This fire adds to the alarming trend of devastating wildfires in California, with the Park fire near Chico already becoming the fourth-largest fire in the state's history, having scorched over 403,000 acres. The unprecedented scale of destruction this fire season has resulted in over 778,000 acres being burned statewide, surpassing last year's total by a significant margin. The situation remains critical, and the peak of the fire season is yet to come.
