Wildfires - Southern California, USA

A Southern California desert wildfire has burned three homes while another blaze in the San Bernardino Mountains has grown to nearly 12 square miles in size.

State fire officials say a 40-acre fire that erupted Thursday in the area of Thermal has burned three single-family homes and some other buildings. No injuries are reported.

Crews are battling some half-dozen other fires around the state.

The largest is 90 miles east of Los Angeles in the San Bernardino Mountains. Some 200 campers have been evacuated and a 74-year-old hiker was rescued as the fire approached a dry lake.
