The California Ranch Fire, which ignited Tuesday afternoon, had scorched around 4,205 acres of land in San Bernardino county by the end of the day.
After starting at 2.33 p.m. local time on June 10, the Ranch Fire continued to rage through the county, at zero percent containment.
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) said that the fire was “wind-driven and threatening multiple structures in the Apple Valley area.”
The local fire service added that “fire behavior has intensified due to shifting weather conditions, including increasing winds and low humidity, contributing to rapid fire spread.”
